An exceptional and rare piece from a long extinct Milwaukee, Wisconsin locale and honestly from the Rob Lavinsky childhood mineral collection (a long time ago, bought when I was too young to drive a car). A diverging spray of bright, golden millerite needles to 1.8 cm are embedded in calcite within a fossilized mollusk shell. This was one of the treasures of my childhood collection.
