Millerite (Charlie Key)

Item Description

Brilliant metallic golden millerite needles growing in dense diverging cluster with a rounded termination. The lamellar needles are about 3.8 cm, and you never find them in such dense and attractive habits. Quite an amazing specimen for the species. This is an old classic locality, and few pieces turn up on today's market. Charlie Key loved it and had an Aussie millerite suite in the drawers. The specimen is solid millerite and the top is completely made up of the merged terminations of such intergrown crystals. Ex Charlie Key.
