BoleiteHere we have one of the great old classics from Mexico! This potassium, silver, copper chloride is one of the great beautiful rarities in the mineral world and is highly sought after by not only species collectors, but virtually all collectors. I think that Boleite easily ranks among the top species in the world in terms of a combination rarity and beauty. This is a rare MATRIX specimen of Boleite featuring many fine quality, sharp, lustrous,

or those who admire Bolivian minerals

This piece is a wonderful specimen of this highly sought after material featuring a beautiful baby pink color group of "rosette"-shaped Rhodochrosite rhombs which are flaring out of the colorless/white

This specimen was collected in late 2010 and

very lustrous

Foote Mineral Company

There is a bit of sub-surface iron inclusions

and aesthetic to be sure

These specimens were extracted from the same vein system worked by the father of Bolivian mineralogy

This piece is a robust

unlike anything I’ve seen from this locality

this is a great opportunity to not only pick up something that's rare

I can say with a fair amount of certainty that it is unlikely we will ever see these superb Zinkenite specimens from San Jose again
