Beskrivning:
Millerite
- Locality: Perseverance Mine, Agnew, Leinster, Leonora Shire, Goldfields-Esperance region, Western Australia, Australia (Locality at mindat.org)
- A relatively aesthetic specimen of lamellar growth millerite which here is an attractive spray but is normally seen just forming in layers at this classic and now defunct nickel mine. The millerite completely filled cracks in the rock to form thick layers of parallel-grown acicular crystals . Rarely, as here, we see terminated crystals in a rolling crust atop, though the side view is simply more pretty! It is very bright and golden-colored, and totally unique for millerite occurences. I have not seen such a good piece out there in years. 5.7 x 4.1 x 3.0 cm
