Item Description
An outstanding vug in sculptural matrix is filled with diverging sprays of scintillating, brassy, millerite needles from the famous Halls Gap locality in Kentucky. The calcite crystals lining the vug are a nice contrast to the brassy millerite needles. Definitely one of the finer, more aesthetic specimens in this size range, that we have offered at auction. Rare on the market in general, these days - the locality is now very much off limits to legal collecting for over a decade. Ex Howard Belsky Collection.
