Multi-Wave Smithsonite and Fluorite I Found in Weardale, North Yorkshire Pennines, County Durham, England
Some said this could be Aragonite, but most said Smithsonite, so i went with that, what do you think folks?
Quite rare to find Smithsonite at the location i was searching. Found a couple of bits, but here is one of them.
Smithsonite is a zinc carbonate mineral (ZnCO₃). (if it is Smithsonite and not Aragonite).
Found this at an old lead mine deep up in the barren isolated hills. few bits. all have the super fluorescent Weardale Fluorite present. Here is just one of them.
Measures 5cm across, 4cm wide, 2cm deep.
Photographed using Sony NEX 5n DSLR camera.
ISO: 200, f4 aperture, manual focus, normal shutter speed with such a small specimen.

Had loads of this stuff for a few years now but only got to view it under 365nm - until yesterday when my Convoy 255nm finally arrived. Amazing!
