Pure boron (a metalloid) is not found in nature. Boron will be combined with something else. Pure boron could be shiny, but will usually be a brown powder when combined with carbon.
There are no radioactive isotopes of boron that are ordinarily found in nature. All elements have synthetic radioactive isotopes, however.
Boron Family (13) - do not occur elementally in nature - are scarce in nature (except aluminum, which is the most abundant metallic element) - have three valence electrons - are metallic (except boron, which is a solid metalloid) - are soft and have low melting points (except boron, which is hard and has a high melting point) - are chemically reactive at moderate temperatures (except boron)

it was found in 1808 and it is not found free in nature

Boron is found in bone and teeth.
Boron can be found in a regular magnet (like in [or on] your refrigerator).

Boron, as a trace element, can be found extensively in the environment. It can be found in the oceans, soils, plants and rocks. Food sources of boron can include green vegetables.
Boron is in column 3 of the expanded form periodic table.
This element is boron (B).
