Skutterudite (large crystals on matrix) (Ref: 11.1-W60)

Bouismas Mine, Bou Azzer District, Tazenakht, Ouarzazate Province, Morocco

68mm x 54mm

minID: U5R-C5X

Big (up to 4.2 cm), sharp shining metallic silver crystals clustered on matrix. Esthetic with better than average presentation, this is excellent specimen of this cobalt arsenide. Without doubt the Bou Azzer area produced the very best of the specie, prior to these the best were German, rare, expensive and far less pretty. The display side of this is in excellent condition. It is contacted on the right side and has damage at the rear where it was removed, not seen in normal display. This locality still produces a few good pieces every few years but it will not last forever. These are future classics especially when they are this good.
