Boleite is a very rarely crystallized lead-silver-copper chloride species that is just plain unusual. This is a sharp crystal of relatively large size - much larger than you normally see, in any case. The crystals from this, the type locality, remain the best known by an order of magnitude, still today 100 and more years later. Ex. Dick Jones collection (TYPE LOCALITY)
