Skutterudite Crystal | 754 grams | Bou Azzer, Morocco | SO24

Sharp lustrous metallic crystals makes this top specimen of Skutterudite most beautiful and unique.  Some pearly white Calcite is intergrown between crystals.  Although most Skutterudite are uninteresting in form, several localities have produced sharp, lustrous crystals that are striking in aesthetics like this one.

The Bou Azer District, Morocco, produces the best examples of Skutterudite, in large, lustrous crystals, often in a cuboctadral shape.  Skutterudite may partially alter to pink Erythrite. Skutterudite is named after its type locality of Skutterud, Norway. 

This specimen is in very good condition. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
