Halls Gap, Lincoln Co., Kentucky, USA One is often lucky to find even a few Millerite crystals in a geode or vug. Maybe a nice spray if the gods are looking favorably on you...Here you have a geode absolutely packed with lustrous and perfect needles and a rare associated pyrite. This is a rare killer specimen for the species and what is more, it can be safely mailed as the crystals ... |
