Description

Here we have a good representative Boracite specimen from a new find in Bolivia. While these specimens are not a new find per se, they are new specimens from a well known locality. Most people are familiar with the Danburites from this locality, but the other staple species found here is Boracite. This piece features a well formed, sharp, blue-grey color cube measuring 6 mm on matrix.
