Boracite (rare color)

Boracite (rare color)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 a few rare, translucent, soft cream yellow color crystals of this hard to find

The Brookites measure up to 7 mm long and are notably free-standing (not lying flat) on the matrix

Crystals of this size from Viloco are almost impossible to find

True amber is older than copal with most ambers ranging from 10 to 30 million years old

These are true Alpine classics

An impressive Wavellite for the locality

The biggest problem with a lot of “black” rocks (because of my affinity for them

but it’s time for it to find a new home

Huanuni is the RICHEST Cassiterite deposit in the world
