Item Description

Splendent, sharp, silver-gray skutterudite crystals to 5 mm cover all sides of the massive, mounded skutterudite matrix from Bou Azzer, Morocco. These are considered to be the world"s finest for the species and you can see why. Older material. A 2007 issue of the Mineralogical Record issue is devoted entirely to Bou Azzer. The photos do not do justice to the brilliance of these crystals. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
