They produce zinc and lead concentrates as well as boric acid colemanite.
2.
The use of ores like colemanite has declined following concerns over arsenic content.
3.
Colemanite is a secondary mineral that forms by alteration of borax and ulexite.
4.
A hydrated form occurs naturally as the minerals colemanite, nobleite and priceite.

It is also found as a constituent of many naturally occurring minerals borax, boracite, ulexite ( boronatrocalcite ) and colemanite.
9.
That same year Suckow sank another shaft just a little south of his last one and found a thick bed of colemanite at.

Ulexite is frequently found associated with colemanite, borax, meyerhofferite, hydroboracite, probertite, glauberite, trona, mirabilite, calcite, gypsum and halite.
