Emanuel Bořický (*11 December 1840 Milín, †27 January 1881 Prague) was a prominent Czech petrologist and mineralogist, professor at Charles University in Prague and custodian of the mineralogical collections of the National Museum in Prague. Ha was the first in Bohemia who systematically used a petrological microscope in his work. He was the first in the world to introduce the methods of microchemistry into petrology. He published about 100 scientific articles, short communications and monographs. As a mineralogist, he mainly devoted his career to chemical analyzes of minerals. He recognized then new minerals as zepharovichite (today wavellite), uranotile (today uranophane), přílepite (fossil resin) and parankerite (Fe-dolomite). In 1868, James Dwight Dana named the mineral borickite (bořickýite, now delvauxite) in his honor. He published four extensive studies: on Czech basalts (1873), phonolites (1874), melaphyres (1876) and porphyrites (1881). He published his method of microchemical determination of rock-forming minerals in 1877.
