The Net (substance)
How closely is bornite related to The Net? It would seem to have a similar chemical formula, and a similar purpley metallic sheen... anythgin else? --Belg4mit 21:11, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

How about an English translation?
This article is written in professional gibberish. So Bornite "crystallizes in the cubic system." And what does that mean?

And this one. How much does a specific volume weigh, compared to water, etc.? "Bornite has a molar mass of 342.681 g/mol." What the hell?

Meanwhile, how is it smelted?


 * Look up crystals and find out.
 * Molar mass has nothign to do with density. The molar mass is the mass of a single unit (e.g; molecule) of substance. Water's molar mass is 18. Do you know anyhting more now? Seriously, you shouldn't expect everything in an encylopedia to be dumbed down to a 2nd grade level. Hopefully the recent conversion to mineral box template will satisfy you, as you ignore the "complicated" stuff on the side.
 * I imagine you smelt it like any other ore, but feel free to research it and add details. --Belg4mit 15:59, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Better photo?
Can we get a better photo? This photo does not "look" like natural peacock ore bornite, colors look too monochromatic, like its colors result from sulfuric acid treatment. John (talk) 17:34, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
