Asharite MgBO2 (OH) I am new to this forum and am not to sure of your etiquette. I was wondering if anyone had information on the above mineral. I have been told that is available in China and could have commercial applications. Apparently the B203 content is 30% and above. I am looking for the chemical composition, information on mining methods, benefication methods if any, etc. Also, is this mineral currently being used in place of generally known borates in glass or fiberglass applications? Thanking you in advance, Torrie Bova
