Item Description

This specimen features a stout, complex cluster of borcarite exhibiting parallel growth. The crystals are lustrous, translucent, and showcases a beautiful turquoise blue color. From a recent find in Mexico, this is the best quality borcarite I have ever seen—gemmy, with pure color and no inclusions other than fluid. Borcarite is a very rare mineral, typically found in polymetallic skarn deposits, and this specimen likely represents one of the finest examples of high-quality borcarite available in the miniature size range. Such specimens were valued highly at Tucson! Ex Jingnan (Tom) Zhang.
