Here we have a good quality Boracite specimen from find the 2009 find in Bolivia. While these specimens are not a new find per se, they are newly mined specimens from this well-known locality. Most people are familiar with the "blue" Danburites (included by Magnesioriebeckite) from this locality, but the other staple species found here is Boracite.
This piece features rare, sharp, well-formed, translucent, pinkish-orange, soft yellow and white/grey color crystals of this hard-to-find species on matrix. There were very few crystals from the entire find on matrix, and I was very lucky to get as many good pieces as I did. Don’t miss out on a lovely piece of a species that is not often found in attractive specimens.
