TXC36 Millerite on Quartz

Biggsville, Henderson Co., Illinois, United States

3.6x 2.4x 2.4 cm             

$125

A very rich millerite speicmen from an unusual locality.  The millerite tuft stands out from a nicely contrasting quartz matrix.

This specimen was collected in 1978, and for its size is considerably richer than most of the others that I have seen from the midwestern US...usually they only contain a few strands of the mineral.
