	Kernite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		O), is a colorless to white crystalline mineral that was formerly the chief source of borax.
		The mineral was discovered in 1926 in Kern County, California and later named for the county.
		Kern County was the only known source of kernite for many years but is now mined in Chile, Spain, and Turkey.

	The mineral kernite
		Kernite was first discovered in 1926 in the Kramer District of Kern Co., California, in an enormous, underground deposit.
		Kernite specimens be stored in a damp area, where this effect will be minimal.
		Kernite was first discovered in a deposit several hundred feet below the surface in the Kramer Borax Deposit in Kern Co., California.

	Kernite hydration
		We dug into the walls where kernite was rimmed with tincalconite and found that these shells gradually passed into massive clear borax farther away from the mine walls.
		To see if such tincalconite is an alteration product of kernite, or of borax as we suspected, we cut a large thin section from a piece of kernite, which had part of a borax shell attached; the borax had altered superficially to tincalconite.
		All contacts between the veins and the kernite are sharp and straight; the contact between the shell of borax- tincalconite and kernite is sharp but irregular, and the veins are apophyses from the shell.

	Kernite
		Kernite could be considered a metamorphic mineral as it is thought to form from the recrystallization of borax due to mild heat and pressure.
		Kernite is found at the bottom of these deposits in stratified units with some kernite crystal layers growing several feet thick.
		However, kernite is harder and forms splintery cleavage fragments.

		Three major borate minerals are found at the borax mine — colemanite, ulexite and kernite.
		Kernite is the easiest mineral to process, and its abundance has been a major factor in the success of the mining operations.
		Kernite contains another element, sodium, which simplifies the processing of the ore.

	Room, low, and high temperature dehydration and phase transitions of kernite in vacuum and in air by N. A. Sennova, R. ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Kernite Na O dehydration in air at high temperature and in vacuum at room temperature has been studied.
		It was found that kernite easily dehydrates forming a new phase-I both on heating and in vacuum.
		The high anisotropy of kernite thermal expansion was explained by approaching of NaO chains due to the initial removing of water molecules from kernite crystal structure.

		The transmission is little more than a switch on the console, and all it does is set forward polarity to the wheel motors, reverse polarity, or no drive at all.
		I suppose weight wise, it is pretty heavy, but the kernite (a type of borax) we were carrying is very crystalline and white, and shatters easily into a very fine powder.
		When the shovel dropped a load of kernite into the truck ahead of us, a dense white cloud of kernite dust enveloped the truck and shovel, a cloud so dense we were unable to see the truck, even though it was only about 150 feet away.

		It has been produced commercially from colemanite, kernite, and tincalconite, as well as from the mineral borax, by dissolving the ore in water, filtering out the clay, and evaporating the solution.
		Colemanite was the chief source until the 1930s, when it was supplanted by kernite, which was subsequently replaced by the mineral borax.
		About 50 percent of the world's supply of commercial boron compounds comes from southern California: the borax crusts and brine from Searles Lake, the large kernite and borax deposits near Kramer, and the colemanite deposits from Death Valley, formed by the evaporation of hot springs or saline lakes and playas.

		The deepest borate is the kernite lens, which is overlain by borax, colemanite, ulexite lenses, and is capped by a barren zone.
		Kernite is a dehydrated form of borax and researchers have concluded that this dehydration took place during burial diagenesis (Christ and Garrels, 1959).
		Kernite deposits are no deeper than 30-300m beneath the surface.
