BoraciteHere 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 a rare, very sharp, well formed, translucent, powder blue color cuboctahedral

Specimen # BOL711B42

the one most desirable phosphate species extant

very little followed

I would love to hear their feedback

It’s amazingly well-formed

framing the piece nicely

impressive

but there is a Gold mining operation in the north that has produced some of the finest "phantom" Quartz specimens from any locality I have seen

A classic association specimen from one of the most well-known mines in Bolivia

There is an interesting white "vein" of Microcline running through the center of one of the Amazonite crystals

The faces of the crystals are quite smooth

so don't miss out on a good quality and uncommon piece from a classic Bolivian locality
