Bright lustrous metallic sharply formed crystals of skutterudite measuring to 1.7 x 1.7 x 1.0 cm in size rich across the top of matrix. In excellent condition. From 2009, the specimen comes with a previous label from the collection of Jan Erik Larsen. Quite nice for the species.The Bouismas Mine, situated within the renowned Bou Azzer mining district of the Central Anti-Atlas Mountains in Morocco, is an underground operation with a history tied to the region's mid-twentieth century and later industrial and artisanal extraction of cobalt, nickel, and associated rare elements. Geologically, the deposit is hosted within complex Precambrian serpentinites and fault-fill vein systems associated with the major Pan-African suture zone, where hydrothermal activity driven by multi-phase tectonic events deposited an array of metallic ores.
