A superb, richly crystallized miniature specimen of Boleite from the Type Locality at Boleo District in Mexico. This complex lead copper silver potassium chloride hydroxide has been found at a remarkable number of localities worldwide, but never in the quality as from Boleo. Despite not being the largest of crystals known, the sheer number (over 50) of well-formed cubic crystals measuring to nearly 4 mm on edge makes this an incredibly rich sample of this rare and attractive species. The crystals are sat upon, and within, the typical clay matrix. Pale green 'Atacamite' is also evident on the matrix.
