Colemanite Raw

Colemanite is a borate mineral that is typically colorless to white or gray in appearance. It often occurs as prismatic crystals or in fibrous, granular, or massive forms. The mineral is named after William T. Coleman, an American mining engineer who first described it in 1884.

Colemanite is primarily found in sedimentary environments, particularly in arid regions where it forms through the evaporation of water containing boron. It is commonly associated with other borate minerals such as ulexite and borax. Significant deposits of colemanite are found in regions such as California in the United States, Turkey, Argentina, and Chile.

Historically, colemanite has been mined for its boron content, which is used in various industrial applications, including the production of borax, a compound widely used in detergents, cosmetics, and other products. Additionally, colemanite specimens are valued by mineral collectors for their distinctive crystal habit and can be found in mineral collections and museums around the world.
