Locality type: Mine Classification Species: Smithsonite Formula: ZnCO3 Comments: Bridges et al. (2011): "This mineral is surprisingly rare considering how common other supergene carbonates are on the site and the abundance of hemimorphite. It has been found as typical crusts of rounded buff coloured crystals, individual crystals being less than 1 mm diameter. It is usually associated with hemimorphite and sphalerite."
