Interesting pseudo-/perimorph of calamin (probably smithsonite) after elongated prismatic crystals of ?. Got this one from Krantz without label and it is the "brother" of a specimen i have in my stock from Hans Walling, who has it as a Wiesloch smithsonite, exactly same colour, habit, and overall appearance. Therefore the locality and ID is not 100% but nevertheless an interesting Zn ore specimen.
