Millerite : NiS
	Agnew (Perseverance Deposit), Goldfields-Esperance region, Western Australia, Australia A radial spray of REAL millerite crystals with REAL terminations, almost unheard of for the locality!!! This is a 3-dimensional, dramatic specimen of solid millerite with a heft to it. Charlie loved these things and stashed them away when he foudn one for sale, apparently.

Millerite : NiS
	Agnew (Perseverance Deposit), Goldfields-Esperance region, Western Australia, Australia 11 x 10.5 x 7 cm.

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. ...
