Here is a superb example of smithsonite from the locality, displaying vivid green botryoidal crystals in a geode of ochre alteration rock. Not to be missed for any collector of French minerals or worldwide smithsonite systematics! Ex collection Klaas-Richard. M. Klaas was a miner in Fontsante mine.
