Hi,
The specimen you think might be smithsonite(s-4) is calcite or aragonite as Rock has identified but not smithsonite.
Hope this help.

Green heulandite on weathered stilbite? I don't think its from the Bombay area, but that leaves a lot of places it could be from. If you upload it to our general gallery, our Indian zeolite expert Fasi Makki will look at it and he may be able to put a good locality on it.
