Ulexite
 | This form of ulexite is made up of closely packed fibrous crystals and transmits light well along these crystals. Ulexite also commonly forms cotton-ball like tufts of crystals. It is found with borax and is an ore of boron along with borax. It is formed by evaporation in desert areas from shallow lakes and pools when boron-rich runoff from mountains forms these temporary bodies of water. 这种乌勒石形式由紧密排列的纤维状晶体组成，沿这些晶体方向能良好地传导光线。乌勒石也常形成类似棉花球的晶体簇。它常与硼砂共生，并作为硼的矿石与硼砂共存。它是在沙漠地区由浅湖和池塘蒸发形成，当山地富含硼的流水形成这些临时水体时形成。 |
Ulexite has the chemical name hydrated sodium calcium borate hydroxide. Its composition is 乌勒石的化学名称是水合钠钙硼酸氢。其组成是
The origin of this sample of ulexite is Boron, California. Popularly called "TV stone" or "TV rock", it is transparent along the direction of the parallel fibers which form the mineral, but translucent in the perpendicular direction. This sample is about 3 x 2.3 x 0.8 cm. 这种乌勒石的产地是加利福尼亚州的硼。它通常被称为‘电视石’或‘电视岩’，沿着平行纤维的方向透明，而在垂直方向上则呈半透明状。该样本尺寸约为3 x 2.3 x 0.8厘米。
