How closely is bornite related to The Net? It would seem to have a similar chemical formula, and a similar purpley metallic sheen... anythgin else? --

How about an English translation?
This article is written in professional gibberish. So Bornite "crystallizes in the cubic system." And what does that mean?
And this one. How much does a specific volume weigh, compared to water, etc.? "Bornite has a molar mass of 342.681 g/mol." What the hell?
Meanwhile, how is it smelted?
Look up crystals and find out.
Molar mass has nothign to do with density. The molar mass is the mass of a single unit (e.g; molecule) of substance. Water's molar mass is 18. Do you know anyhting more now? Seriously, you shouldn't expect everything in an encylopedia to be dumbed down to a 2nd grade level. Hopefully the recent conversion to mineral box template will satisfy you, as you ignore the "complicated" stuff on the side.
I imagine you
smelt it like any other ore, but feel free to research it and add details. --

Better photo?
Can we get a better photo? This photo does not "look" like natural peacock ore bornite, colors look too monochromatic, like its colors result from sulfuric acid treatment.
