Description: Shelf of minerals from the Oxide Zinc Orebody, 13-16th Levels, Potosi Mine, Santa Eulalia. Minerals from here include hemimorphite, calcite, willemite, chalcophanite, adamite and cerussite. This orebody runs 35% zinc and is almost completely composed of supergene zinc minerals. The bright red, brown and white calcite twins you see from SE come from this orebody...as well as teh stalactites over hematite (often mislabeled cinnabar)
