Yellow Ozokerite Wax

[Mugs]

In some stuff I came by from a shooter who passed away was a bag of yellow ozokerite wax #1544 Y. Anyone know anything about its use in making boolit lube?

Ozokerite or ozocerite (Gr. ??, to emit odour, and ??, wax) is a naturally-occurring odouriferous mineral wax (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_wax) or paraffin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraffin) found in many localities.

Sources

Specimens have been obtained from Scotland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland), Northumberland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northumberland) and Wales (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wales), as well as from about thirty different countries. Of these occurrences the ozokerite of the island (now peninsula) of Cheleken (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cheleken&action=edit), near Turkmenbashi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkmenbashi), and the deposits of Utah (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah) in the US, deserve mention, though the last-named have been largely worked out. The sole sources of commercial supply are in Galicia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galicia_%28Central_Europe%29), at Boryslaw (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boryslaw), Dzwiniacz (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dzwiniacz&action=edit) and Starunia (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Starunia&action=edit), though the mineral is found at other points on both flanks of the Carpathians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpathians).
Ozokerite deposits are believed to have originated in much the same way as mineral veins, the slow evaporation and oxidation of petroleum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum) having resulted in the deposition of its dissolved paraffin in the fissures and crevices previously occupied by the liquid. As found native, ozokerite varies from a very soft wax to a black mass as hard as gypsum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gypsum).

Properties

Its specific gravity ranges from -85 to -95, and its melting point from 58 to 100 °C. It is soluble in ether (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diethyl_ether), petroleum, benzene (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzene), turpentine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turpentine), chloroform (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroform), carbon disulfide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_disulfide), &c. Galician ozokerite varies in color from light yellow to dark brown, and frequently appears green owing to dichroism. It usually melts at 62 °C. Chemically, ozokerite consists of a mixture of various hydrocarbons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocarbon), containing 85-7% by weight of carbon and 14-3% of hydrogen.
