Pocket of smithsonite crystals on matrix. On top of the smithsonite there are a few small cerussite crystals. Under longwave UV light both the smithsonite and cerussite fluoresce yellow. Under shortwave UV light, the smithsonite is not fluorescent anymore, but the cerussite keeps a light yellow fluorescence. Most notable under shortwave UV light is a bright blue fluorescence mineral, likely hydrozincite. Under shortwave UV light there is also an unidentified red fluorescent mineral.
Fluorescence under both shortwave and longwave UV light.
