Description:An exposed geode lined with beige Calcite crystals is hosts to some small, bright metallic needles of the well known Nickel Suflide, Millerite. There is a group of almost reticulated Millerite crystals that have a geometric (preferential) pattern which have overgrown a single Chalcopyrite crystal in the vug. There is also another Chalcopyrite which has no Millerite coating it whatsoever. A very cool specimen of this classic material from Kentucky.
