Where can naturally occurring borax be found?
Turkey, California, other parts of the Southwestern US, Chile, Tibet, Romania are some places where natural borax is found. See link for more information. This is a good beginning answer. In the United States borax was first discovered at Borax Lake in northern California. Then it was found in a dry lakebed at Salt Wells near Fallon, Nevada in 1859. For the next 30 years borax was scraped up from the surface of these dry lakebeds throughout Nevada at Columbus Marsh, Teels Marsh, Rhodes Marsh, Amargosa Valley and Death Valley. In 1890 underground deposits of borax were found known as Colemanite near Barstow in the Mojave Desert. From 1906-1925 underground mining moved to the mountains east of Death Valley. In 1925 borax was found near Kramer Junction near the town of Mojave and that deposit went to open pit mining in 1956. Today that pit is the largest open pit mine in the state of California and is the largest borax producing mine in the country. It is owned by Rio Tinto Borax and provides the borax to Dial Corp for the Twenty Mule Team Borax product. Please see the Gold Creek link below for more borax history and the film The Twenty Mule Team of Death Valley.

Do you have to have cornflour and borax to make slime?
Technically no. Many animals make slime out of mucopolysaccharides... humans, for example (we call it snot, or mucus if you want to be polite). However, if you're wanting to make "slime" to play with, most recipes that I'm aware of do involve either borax or cornstarch (or both). You can make a slime-like compound (though it may not be exactly what you're looking for) out of Metamucil and water... you basically microwave it and let it cool for several cycles. That said, neither cornstarch nor borax is particularly expensive; I'm not sure why this is such a stumbling block. (If you just don't know where to find them, you can get cornstarch at any grocery store, and probably borax as well. If you can't find the borax, look in the section where the laundry detergents are... one common brand is 20 Mule Team Borax.)
