Nickelskutterudite (Var: Chloanthite)


Nickelskutterudite (Var: Chloanthite) : NiAs2 - excess As up to As2.5

An exceptionally rich specimen, with excellent 3-dimensional coverage by thick clusters of bright, metallic, chloanthite (nickel-rich skutterudite). This is the classic locality for the material, and although such specimens are usually big and clunky this one is definitely more on the aesthetic side (and better in person!) 6.1 x 5.6 x 2.4 cm
