Hi Mike, I saw that mineral but at a first glance I thought it was Limonite. I searched on mindat for smithsonite for that location and it did not found anything, however there is smithsonite in the region according to mindat. After the exams I will give it the proper attention and try to figure what it really is.

And thank you, all the luck is welcome ahaha.

So, I decided to use a bit of my free time to post some pictures of my minerals. I know that I don´t update this page in a long time, the university is taking all of my time... For now I'm going to post two minerals from Panasqueira Mine, Portugal that I really enjoy. The first is a Quartz crystal with Siderite and Chlorite on it, and the second a Quartz crystal with Calcite and Pyrite (with an habit that I'm not used to see from there).
