Size: miniature, 3.8 x 2.5 x 1.9 cm
Millerite
One is often lucky to find even a few Millerite crystals in a geode or vug. Maybe a nice spray if the gods are looking favorably on you...Here you have a geode absolutely packed with lustrous and perfect needles and a rare associated pyrite. This is a rare killer specimen for the species and what is more, it can be safely mailed as the crystals are protected in a natural geode. I used to collect here as a kid, before the government sealed access due to the danger of collecting under an increasingly undercut overhang alongside a state freeway (Those louts! go figure!). It ain't easy, I can tell you, and the actual nickel-rich layer of rock containing the millerite-bearing geodes was a you-know-what to work at, laying on your back tapping at the ceiling of the cut with 20 feet of overburden above you. I have great respect for Neal Pfaff and Bill McKenzie who collected so much of it. Most of what I found were empty geodes! 3.8 x 2.5 x 1.9 cm
