ulexite

Examples include asbestos, ulexite and the satin spar variety of gypsum.

It occurs associated with colemanite, howlite, ulexite and pentahydroborite.

Colemanite is a secondary mineral that forms by alteration of borax and ulexite.

The lagoon has mineral deposits of thenardite and ulexite, gypsum, lithium, boron and potassium, among others.

Many borate minerals, such as borax, colemanite, and ulexite, are salts: soft, readily soluble, and found in evaporite contexts.

Boron does not appear on Earth in elemental form but is found combined in borax, boric acid, colemanite, kernite, ulexite and borates.

Ulexite is found in evaporite deposits and the precipitated ulexite commonly forms a "cotton ball" tuft of acicular crystals.

Due to the elevated presence of mineral deposits in the area of Atacama, main traffic of the line consists of freight trains transporting lithium carbonate, borax, butane, pearlite, salt, ulexite, brine etc.

When a piece of ulexite is cut with flat polished faces perpendicular to the orientation of the fibers, a good-quality specimen will display an image of whatever surface is adjacent to its other side (as shown in the photograph).

It occurs as rare vug fillings in nitrate ores in association with tarapacáite (KCrO), dietzeite and ulexite in the Chilean Atacama and is reported from the Bushveld igneous complex of South Africa.
