Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of boleite from Mexico!!! Boleite crystals are most often encountered as single crystals, with
matrix examples being quite scarce indeed!!! This specimen hosts numerous sharp, deep blue cubic crystals
of boleite on matrix in association with scattered crystals of whitish anglesite!!! The
boleite crystals have characteristic rich blue color with sharp, lustrous faces and measure in size to over .5cm!!! There are
numerous crystals of boleite scattered throughout the entire specimen!!! Although one can
see numerous natural fissures in the matrix, it is natural and stable - with minute anglesite and
selenite crystals scattered throughout!!! Rare material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY AUGUST 23rd!!!
