  1. Density 4.9 – 5.3 g/cm3 Chemical Formula Cu5FeS4 Hardness 3 Luster Metallic Streak Dark Gray to Black Earth Science Mineral Profile Cleavage or Fracture? Cleavage Common Locations England Mexico Kazakhstan United States Crystal System Orthorhombic • Human Uses • The primary use of bornite is as an ore for copper. The copper within the bornite can be used for a number of different things such as: • Building construction • Power generation and transmission • Electronic product manufacturing • Wiring and plumbing • Heating and cooling systems • Telecommunications Reason for Crystal Shape Mineral crystals receive their shape based on how the atoms are organized within them. This atomic structure, called a crystal lattice, gives each mineral a crystal structure that belongs to one of the six crystal systems under the right conditions. Bornite Created By: Dave Burgess
