This will be pretty simple, but a recently aquired guitar (Reverend Airwave) uses a nut material called "bonite" for which the company has big claims. Taken straight from their website:

" We use "Boneite," a synthetic bone nut, that is more consistent than natural bone, on all Reverend instruments. It reduces friction, allowing the strings to slide through the nut slots smoothly, improving tuning stability." ( https://www.reverendguitars.com/guitars/airwave-12-string )

Compare this with the StewMac article on the same issue from 2007, which recommends bone above and beyond any other material. Now, I know that there will be different preferences no matter how clear cut an issue concerning guitar may be, but for my purposes I think this article speaks some kind of consensus amongst builders. Regardless, my point is not to adress whether they are right or wrong, or to make and assertion for that matter. Rather, I want to know what Boneite is.

" https://www.stewmac.com/How-To/Online_Resources/Learn_About_Guitar_Nut_and_Saddle_Setup_and_Repair/The_best_nut-making_material_Bone_for_Tone.html "

A quick search for Boneite will yield frustratingly few results. What little can be found relating to guitars is from Reverend's website, adding the the mystery. Has Reverend really found the best bone nut under everybody's nose? Or is this a case of slick marketing? Only adding to the mystery is the plethora of "boneite" posts relating to skateboarding.

And before you ask, I can't say anything about it from playing my new guitar. Frankly, the Reverend is much nicer than what I am used to, so it would be hard to say as of yet what is doing what between the setup, tuners, wood, scale length, etc etc.

tldr; Reverend is advertising their use of a special synthetic nut material called Boneite, google only takes me back to Reverend. What is this material, what can really be said about it?
