The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It exists in various crystalline forms that are isoelectronic to a similarly structured carbon lattice.
- The hexagonal form corresponding to graphite is the most stable and soft among BN polymorphs, and is therefore used as a lubricant and an additive to cosmetic products.
- The cubic variety analogous to diamond is called c-BN, it is softer than diamond, but its thermal and chemical stability are superior.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Boron nitride article was read about 65,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 76: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
