Millerite ex Jack Halpern Collection

Item Description

Old-time, American Mid-West classic from early on in the building of Jack's equally classic collection. This exceptional thumbnail from Milwaukee, Wisconsin features a limestone vug filled with a gorgeous spray of bright and brassy Millerite needles to 9 mm. Highly recognizable, and sought-after, Millerites this good are almost never available anymore, made even more so by the fact that the location is now within a state park, and obviously closed to collecting. But how fun it would have been to collect specimens this good the opportunity presented itself! These are almost unavailable and even small samples usually sell for over $1000. Irreplaceable. There are numerous references to Jack and his collection in print, but perhaps a good tour of the collection and its history will help give perspective on just how good, and important, this collection is: https://www.irocks.com/the-jack-halpern-collection
