Item Description
A very fine combination specimen from an extinct Milwaukee locale. A showy spray of lustrous, brassy, millerite needles to 2.7 cm is aesthetically set on the side of a vug filled with glassy, translucent, modified calcite scalenohedrons. These came out in the 1960s. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection. Rare and very seldom on the market.
