borkarbidi
Borkarbidi is a naturally occurring mineral that belongs to the oxide group. Its chemical formula is BxC, where B represents boron and C represents carbon. While it's a relatively obscure mineral, it has garnered some scientific interest due to its unique properties. Borkarbidi is known for its extreme hardness, approaching that of diamond, and its high melting point. These characteristics make it a candidate for applications requiring exceptional wear resistance and thermal stability.
The mineral is typically found in placer deposits and in association with certain metamorphic rocks. Its formation
