Millerite
Radiant clusters of brilliant metallic golden Millerite needles growing in dense clusters with rounded terminations. The needles are about 2.7 cm, and you never find them in such dense and attractive habits. Quite an amazing specimen for the species. This is an old classic locality, and few pieces turn up on today's market. CharlieKey loved it and had an Aussie millerite suite in the drawers. The specimen is solid millerite with some lamellar crystals visible on sides, and the top completely made up of the merged terminations of such intergrown crystals. Minute microcrystalline bright green specks of another mineral (gaspeite?) are present.
