Item Description
Boleite is one of the great classics from Mexico. This excellent and sculptural thumbnail hosts an aesthetically placed, bright teal-blue to deep indigo-blue, boleite cube with mirror luster faces on stabilized clay matrix from the famous 1970s finds by Ed Swoboda and Bill Larson at the historic Amelia Mine at Boleo, Mexico. The cube is 7 mm on all sides. The scattered small boleites are a fine compliment. A classic and choice matrix specimen from the Jaime Bird Collection. Valued at $300-400.
