Item Description
Brilliant silver-metallic, sharp skutterudite crystals, to 1.0 cm, are aesthetically clustered on the hefty granular skutterudite ore matrix on this showy, rich and highly representative example from this noted locale. These are considered to be the world's finest for this uncommon nickel species and you can see why. Older material. A 2007 issue of the Mineralogical Record issue is devoted entirely to Bou Azzer. BETTER IN PERSON.
