Boleite

Item Description

A sharp boleite crystal of relatively large size - much larger than you normally see on the market. Boleite is a very rarely crystallized lead-silver-copper chloride species that is just plain unusual. It has classic rich indigo-blue color, high luster and striking translucent edges. The crystals from this, the Type Locality, remain the best known by an order of magnitude, still today 100 and more years later. A very fine example from the 1970s finds by Larson and Swoboda.
