Description:Sharp, moderately lustrous, battleship-gray, intergrown skutterudite crystals to 2.2 cm form a showy mounded oval on this rich and excellent older specimen from Bou Azzer. The bit of bruising is a very modest detraction. Ex Howard Belsky Collection and comes with a 1970s-era Lidstrom's label with a $45 price. These were just starting to come out of Morocco at that time and caused much excitement for the large crystals. Definitely not cheap for the time.
