Item Description
An old-time, rich and colorful combination specimen, when this South African deposit was in the Transvaal. Plumose sprays of lustrous, brassy, acicular, millerite crystals compose this specimen of solid millerite. Bright green, greasy, zaratite, a rare secondary nickel carbonate adds much color to this fine combination piece. Rarely available in this combination quality from this locale. Old-time material from the East Coast collection of Clifford Joseph.
