    Description: Kurnakovite has been found at Boron in free standing crystals in excess of 30 cm and in clusters more than 60 cm across. It is typically found associated with the gray green mud found at the deposit and dense fibrous balls of white ulexite. Rarely it is found associated with prismatic crystals of inderite. The crystals are typically white and transparent with inclusions of the gray/green mud of the deposit. Several different crystal habits have been noted. The crystals were found only once during a short period early in the development of the large open pit mine at Boron. In the polluted air of Los Angeles, kurnakovite crystals develop a white patina that can be washed off with water. Kurnakovite is quite heat sensitive, especially the larger crystals and the temperature of the kurnakovite and the water should be allowed to equilibrate before washing the specimen.
