Description

Millerite is a highly collectible nickel sulfide, and is seldom available from Russian localities.

This very fine specimen features a spray of brassy-yellow, shiny, metallic,  crystals with a hint of iridescence. The millerite needles reach an impressive 1.5 cm, and they are quite stout for the species.

Associated are excellent, silky, and gemmy calcites that have a nice red fluorescence and intese green titanite crystals.
