Mandala #5 — B: Boro (Boron)
Element 5 · B · Boro
Warm black, icosahedral crystal
A metalloid with icosahedral crystal clusters — harder than steel, forming the backbone of boron carbide armor.
Boron exists in fascinating allotropes. Its icosahedral B₁₂ clusters create extreme hardness. Boron carbide is used in nuclear reactor control rods, body armor, and abrasives. Boron compounds also make glass resistant to thermal shock.
