...George L. Smith; Hy Almond; Dwight L. Sawyer Abstract Sassolite (H 3 BO 3 ), previously unreported from the Kramer Borate District, California, was found near the base of the borate-bearing shales underlying the ore body. Probertite, ulexite, colemanite, borax, and kernite, all found within...

...Robert L. Smith Abstract Recent finds of sassolite (B 2 O 3 ·3H 2 O) in southern California, Allen and Kramer (1957) and Smith, Almond, and Sawyer (1958) have prompted the author to place on record three heretofore unpublished localities. These sassolite finds, although not as well documented...

...Robert D. Allen; Henry Kramer Abstract Ginorite, 2CaO·7B 2 O 3 ·8H 2 O, and sassolite, B 2 O 3 ·3H 2 O, have been found closely associated in efflorescent masses in colemanite-veined basalt near the head of Twenty Mule Team Canyon, Death Valley. The ginorite is in rhomb-shaped plates, less than...
