It is so named because of the irregular branching of the veins into many anastomosing stringers, so that the ore is not separable from the country rock.

Neupogen is a protein-based drug administered by injection which increases the production of white blood cells. According to Drugs.com, Neupogen is administered to patients with neutropenia resulting from cancer, bone marrow transplant or chemotherapy.
These two drugs cause the white blood cell count to fall a little less, and to recover to normal a little faster. However, neither drug completely stops the white blood cell count from falling below normal, and their use is not appropriate for all patients or for all types of chemotherapy.
