Amelia Mine, Santa Rosalía (El Boleo), Boleo District, Mun. de Mulegé, Baja California Sur, Mexico
1.1cm x 1.03cm x 1.02cm
Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of this rare and sought after species from the type locality!!! This specimen consists of a huge single crystal of boleite that hosts an incredible showing of
epitaxial pseudoboleite and cumengeite with some minor green paratacamite in association!!! The boleite cube faces host an attractive, significant network of
highly complex, stepped growths of epitaxial pseudoboleite!!! In addition to the pseudoboleite, several of tbe cube faces host
multiple sharp, angular spires of epitaxial cumengeite that
puncture through the pseudoboleite!!! Both the pseudoboleite and cumengeite host numerous tiny crystals of green
paratacamite (some of which may actually be pseudomorphous) as well!!! The overall combination makes for a stunning specimen indeed!!! This is a huge
crystal for the species - that measures over 1cm in every direction (and well over 1.5cm diagonally)!!! The crystal is complete all around and exhibits characteristic intense royal blue
color!!! Simply incredible in person!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
