Millerite Vein in Chalcopyrite
Collection

Description
One usually thinks of Millerite in its rare crystalline (acicular) form, as that is the form it takes in most collector specimens. But here, it appears as a silvery vein running through a chunk of gaudy golden and purple Chalcopyrite. Ex. Dr. Gunter Grundmann Collection.
