Sharp Lustrous Skutterudite Crystals from Bou Azzer District, Tazenakht, Ouarzazate Province, Morocco

Collection

Robert Lavinsky

Description

Superb, brilliantly-lustrous, unusually well-formed crystals of this rare nickel species. Note the quality of the facets, like Garnet but with metallic luster. This is an excellent specimen for the size as most such specimens have nice crystals stuck in clunky matrix but this one displays nicely and the crystals are so 3-dimensional.

Locality

Bou Azzer District, Tazenakht, Ouarzazate Province, Morocco

Dimensions

4.3 x 2.3 x 2.0 cm.
