Item Description

A striking and excellent millerite specimen from the famous Kaser Quarry of Iowa. The dramatic, very aesthetically placed, 4.5 cm, nested vug filled with fine, hair-like millerite needles in swirling sprays sits in a sculptural vug of chalcedony on limestone matrix. The millerite needles are supremely soft to the touch! Ex Robert Nowakowski Collection. Classic, excellent and desirable millerite and looks great from either side.
