Item Description

Boracite is a rare borate, with some of the finest examples coming from this well-known underground English potash and salt mine. This very fine and sculptural two-sided small cabinet is richly covered on both sides with translucent sea-green crystals. These choice pieces came from the early to mid 1990s finds, with none since. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection.
