Item Description

A dense tangle of nested sprays of brassy, acicular millerite crystals line a 3.3 cm chalcedony-lined geode on this sculptural and classic small cabinet from Halls Gap. This is a style typical for the locality (when digging, you would look for geodes in slightly green, or nickel-rich, rock layers). An excellent combination specimen from this noted locale, with aesthetics and richness both! An earlier acquistion from the Marty Zinn Collection # 1362. Valued at $400.
