Description

Very rare yellow cadmium smithsonite from probably the best smithsonite locality in the British Isles. The waste tips at the locality have now been bulldozed down the mine shaft, so no new material will be appearing on the market. This specimen is one of the much less common examples where the matrix contains purple fluorite that contrasts nicely with the cadmium yellow.
