This very large miniature well-crystallized Skutterudite is from a less well known German occurrence at Langhecke, Villmar, Limburg-Weilburg, Giessen Region, Hesse, Germany, but the crystals are remarkable for not only their size, but form too. The Skutterudite forms large silvery cubo-octahedral crystals, reaching up to 1.5 cm across embedded within white Calcite. It is from the superb collection assembled by brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021).
