The boric acid will change into several different acids although fizzy the whole time. The sparkling action is the boric acid freeing the moisture from itself. Whatever used to boric acid will finally down to form a clear liquid glass at about 700c.

If you have a strong torch you can heat it and melt it. It will form a hard, glassy substance. Which is your boric oxide. Then if you crush it, you can mix it with Mg or Al and make a thermite for isolating Boron.
