Hemimorphite after Calcite
specimen number:
1653902
location:
Coldstones quarry, Pateley Bridge, Yorkshire, England, UK
description:
Crystals of what were once calcite measuring to 1.3 cm in size across the top of matrix and now replaced by crystallized hemimorphite. The previous label is calling this hemimorphite, I suspect it might be smithsonite. Regardless, a neat example for this locality and species.
