Description

Millerite is a nickel sulfide (with traces of cobalt, iron and copper) that appears as a ball of flexible fibrorad needles, sometimes with multicolored iridescence.

Here we have beautiful millerite fibers in a small pinkish calcite (?) geode.

Mineral from Hall’s Gap in Kentucky, USA.

Specimen from the Hubin collection in Neupré, Belgium, delivered with label.
