Here is a large specimen that has been cut on the top and polished to a high quality. The typical banded silver-grey metallic bismuth-cobalt-nickel mineralization, known as BiCoNi-Ore, is wonderfully visible. The main minerals represented in this mineralization are skutterudite, safflorite, rammelsbergite and native bismuth. Very nice collection specimen with high-quality cut.
