Numerous collectors have expressed an interest in acquiring, for comparison-reference collection, examples of terrestrial minerals which have been found in meteorites. An excellent article, covering this subject, appears in "Researches on Meteorites", entitled "The Minerals of Meteorites", by Brian Mason, P. 145-163, listing 34 minerals known to have been found in meteorites. This work was published in 1961, and many more discoveries have been documented since that time. Additional information appears in the "Handbook of Iron Meteorites", V. F. Buchwald, Vol. I, P. 87-113 (1975), in which 49 mineral species were reported to have been identified in unweathered iron meteorites. Anyone who does not have these references in their library, and is interested in building a reference collection of the terrestrial minerals found in meteorites, may request Xerox copies of these articles in connection with an order for specimens from this section of our web site. The list below contains the names of more than 125 minerals which have been identified in meteorites, as of 199....this list was condensed from the references given, following the mineral list. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone who is reading this, and is aware of other papers concerning this subject, would let us know where we can find additional information so that we can include the information in our list of minerals found within meteorites. It is our goal to compile a master list of the minerals found in meteorites, combining all of the data we can collect on the subject. To date, the list we have on file contains over 80 species. The summary of references, from which we have prepared this list, appears at the bottom of this page.
