Another really cool micro-crystal
While I was going through another flat of rocks I purchased, I discovered yet another unique and interest mineral.

Unfortunately the camera doesn't do it justice. It actually looks fuzzy and green. But when I put it under the stereo-scope; WOW

It's called Botroidal Millerite. I only wish I had a way to show the 3d effect I see when I'm looking through both lenses. It looks like needles of pyrite.

The term botroidal refers to minerals that have a nodular or bumpy look to it.

looking atthe first picture; one can notice a small white dot. It is a small calcite crystal cluster.

This one is definitely going home with me.

I've never thought that rocks could look so cute and furry
Like I said in the post, the pics don't do it justice. I've got an okenite geode that has little white fuzz balls in it. I have to keep it up high to keep people from touching it and breaking the crystals.
Neat! Reminds me of the black velvet psilomelane
Thank you
