Item Description
Boleite is one of the great classics from Mexico. This excellent miniature hosts four, deep indigo-blue, boleite cubes with mirror luster faces jauntily set on stabilized clay matrix from the famous 1970s finds by Ed Swoboda and Bill Larson at the historic Amelia Mine at Boleo, Mexico. The two, large cubes are 5 mm and the slight edgewear to one of them is a very modest detraction. A classic and choice matrix specimen from the Marty Lewadny Collection. Valued at $450.
