Large isolated crystal of Ullmannite with a cubic habit, with sharp faces and edges, of very considerable size for the species and with small interstitial coatings of nickel salts that also partially cover the crystal faces. As is inevitable with these types of crystals included within a Calcite matrix, it has been partially acid-etched. The specimen, which comes from a new Moroccan locality for which at the moment we only know the region, has been analyzed and we will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.
