"Bor-" Just Tickles Me

Boron may be the most inexplicably useless element, but dig those compound names:

Real

Borane
Boromycin
Boride ion
Carborane
Organoborane
Borate
Decaborane (smells like chocolate. Thumbs up)
Borax
Borinic esters
Boronic esters

Don't exist but should:

Borase
Boryl group
Borite (mineral)
Chloroborocarbon (does this exist?)

And boron, an untapped gemstone source?

Hands up ladies, if I could win your heart with a Borazon engagement ring.

i would just like to say that I would be totally open to a 1 karat borazon engagement ring. In, you know, a rhetorical and platonic way.
