Globular aggregates of rhombohedral Smithsonite crystals with very rounded faces and edges, its yellowish green tones displaying a predominance of the latter, with velvety appearance and satiny luster, dotted with small but very sharp scalenohedral crystals of snow-white Calcite, giving a beautiful color contrast to the specimen. Smithsonite had not been reported from this mine before, so this specimen helps to expand its paragenesis.
