Choice and aesthetic, this small miniature is richly adorned with a fabulous crown of delicate and brassy Millerite needles. These Millerites, with a small amount of white Calcite on golden Pyrite, show particularly well, and are highly sought-after. Most of these would date to the 1800s, and good ones are hard to obtain.
