Skutterudite is named after the town of Skotterud in Norway by its discoverer Wilhelm Karl von Haidinger in 1845. It is a cobalt arsenide mineral, often found with arsenopyrite, bismuth and silver.    

Skutterudite helps to clear and reset your perspective, bringing a sense of peace and new direction. It also helps to detoxify and cleanse stagnant energy, and grounds and centres you, making it a great crystal to use during meditation, as it can help calm the mind and promote a sense of relaxation. Skutterudite can also be used for chakra work, as it is believed to help balance the Chakras and promote overall physical and emotional well-being.
