Honessite, Pyrite, Quartz - US 27 roadcut, Halls Gap, Lincoln Co., Kentucky, USA

This is a superb example of this rare nickel species, with brilliant hulk-green crystals to 1 cm in a protected cavity in a quartz geode. I believe this is the world's best locality for the species....at least, I have not seen good honessite from other places for sale. Honessite is MUCH more rare than the millerite found in geodes from this hard-to-collect locality (I know, i collected there as a kid!). The location is a roadcut along a major state highway, now completely off-limits to collectors. 4.9 x 3.8 x 2.4 cm

6.2 x 6.1 x 2.5 cm. Metallic, brilliant nickel-green honessite crystals richly fill a 3 cm vug in this impressive matrix specimen from a now closed locality. Honessite is much rarer than its close-relative millerite. Ex. Martin Zinn Collection.

Metallic, brilliant nickel-green honessite crystals richly fill a 3 cm vug in this impressive matrix specimen from a now closed locality. Honessite is MUCH more rare than its close-relative millerite and I can assure you, having collected here as a kid, that the stuff is REALLY rare at Hall's Gap. 1 in 1000 geodes have it, 1 for every 100 that have millerite.
