Large Millerite & Calcite (classic locale)

Item Description

Scintillating sprays of brassy millerite needles and glassy, transparent to translucent calcite rhombs fill an impressive, large 14.0 cm vug in limestone matrix on this outstanding combination piece from a classsic Iowa locale. The needles reach about 2.0 cm and are richly coating and are included-in the calcite rhombs. Some rhombs are coloress, while most are tinted gray by rich inclusions of millerite needles. Dramatic and excellent rare large combination material. Older material probably from the 1960s or 70s, by the label style. 5.5 pounds or 2.5 kilos.
