Joseph Henry Collins (1841-1916), Cornish mineralogist, mining engineer and geologist, and founder of the Mineralogical Society, reported the first occurrence of finding millerite at Gerrans Bay:- "This I have recently found in a vein traversing black silurian schist at Gerrans Bay, in Cornwall, in a cavity lined with pale pink calcite. Only one such cavity could be found, which yielded the specimen now laid on the table and two others; one of which has been deposited in the Museum of the Royal Institution of Cornwall, at Truro. The crystals are well formed and some arc peculiarly twisted like a screw. Millerite has only previously occurred at Huel Chance and Fowey Consols, in Cornwall, and at Combemartin and Ilfracombe, in Devon".
