Skutterudite (sharp xls)

Item Description

Splendent, sharp, silver-gray skutterudite crystals to 2.1 cm are attractively set in the mounded massive skutterudite matrix from Bou Azzer, Morocco. 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. The basal periphery wear is certainly only a modest detraction to excellent and highly representative example of the species and locale.
