<h2 id="uses">Uses</h2>
<p>Colemanite is an important <a href="/facts/Ore/kgc9DssX">ore</a> of <a href="/facts/Boron/Pmwgd7Mf">boron</a>, and was the most important boron ore until the discovery of <a href="/facts/Kernite/mYb5FMCt">kernite</a> in 1926. It has many industrial uses, like the manufacturing of heat resistant glass.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a>
