Large Boleite Cube on Matrix

Large Boleite Cube on Matrix from Amelia Mine, Santa Rosalia, Baja California, Mexico

Collection

Robert Lavinsky

Description

A razor-sharp cube of precisely 1 cm, large for the species, and centered nicely to make the perfect thumbnail. So many of these are simply floaters, with no matrix. This is one of the better thumbnail-sized Boleites for the aesthetics, richness, and price range combination. Collected in the mid-1970s by Bill Larson and Ed Swoboda.
