Lacunar spinels are the first compounds found to host Néel-type skyrmions in their bulk forms. The Néel-type character of the skyrmions is a consequence of the polar rhombohedral distortion of their high-temperature cubic structure. Using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy, in thin lamellas of GaMo₄S₈ we found that the magnetic ordering temperature is 3 times higher compared to bulk crystals. Moreover, instead of Néel-type skyrmion lattices observed in bulk crystals with a typical periodicity of 10-20nm we found Bloch-type skyrmion crystals with lattice constants about 200nm. The change in the character of the skyrmions implies a chiral crystal structure realized in thin lamellas.
