Combined theoretical and experimental effort, applying electronic structure calculations and numerical simulations as well as chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements had to be joined by mineralogical expertise to unveil the quantum magnetism of the mineral Boleite. This mineral is a strongly frustrated quantum magnet with 24 spin 1/2 Cu sites arranged on the vortices of a truncated cube, one of the famous Archimedean solids. We find that the system with its typical 1/3 magnetization plateau can be well understood by two leading interactions and their "randomness" describing a certain distribution of these exchange interactions.
