Boleite is a very attractive blue mineral that forms in very distinct crystal habits. Its crystals can be perfectly cubic, both in individual isolated crystals. The matrix of Boleite crystals is often friable and can crumble. Matrix specimens are often stabilized with glue to prevent their crumbling. Boleite is named after its type locality at Boleo, Baja California, Mexico.
