Description

This is a fine combination piece of well developed Skutterudite and myrtle leaf shaped metallic crystals of Löllingite, associated as spherical clusters. The Skutterudite is razor sharp and features a high metallic sheen. This circumstance makes a good picture nearly impossible. Here you have a bit more isolated crystals and not clustered as usual what makes the specimen more aesthetics.
