Item Description

Pseudoboleite is a very rare Pb-Cu chloride. Crusts and microcrystals of beautiful rich blue Pseudoboleite cover one side of the piece and are accented by rich green Malachite on matrix. Choice, rare material. This is one of only a select few pieces of this material that we've had to offer, and comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
