Disclosed is a method of producing cubic boron nitride, which comprises the steps of subjecting to a pressure of from 40 to 70 kilobars and to a temperature of from 1100.degree. to 2000.degree. C. a charge including hexagonal boron nitride and a conversion initiator selected from the group consisting of alkali and alkaline earth metals and borides of the foregoing metals, doping the charge with crystallohydrate in the form of a compound selected from the group consisting of sulfur-, halogen- or nitrogen-containing salts and their mixtures incorporating at least 5 molecules of crystallization water. According to another embodiment, the aforesaid charge is doped with a member selected from the group consisting of alkali metal hydroxide or alkaline earth metal hydroxide.
