An improved method is provided for producing crystalline calcium hexaborate tetrahydrate, synthetic nobleite, by the reaction of boric acid and lime in an aqueous slurry. Reaction conditions include boric acid to water molar ratios of greater than 0.25:1, lime to boric acid molar ratios in the range of 0.05-0.15:1 and temperatures in the range of 85 degree C - 105 degree C. A novel crystalline product is produced having a unique crystal habit resulting in improved physical properties. Dehydration of this product produced a novel amorphous, anhydrous product having similar crystal habit and physical properties.
