I have set "Peacock ore" to redirect here. Hyperdeath 07:50, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

How about an English translation?

[edit]

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)[reply]


Better photo?

[edit]

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)[reply]
