Hehe, the Museo played some jokes with you.

Melinite is an explosive, invented by Eugène Turpin (1848-1927) (a relative
of Ben Turpin?)
http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/englishhtml/p4556.htm
was used at that time as filling of grenades.

And melinite is an anagram of ilmenite, found in moon rocks...

Buckleboo!

What is the big news?

Merrillite (Ca3(PO4)2) is found in several meteorites. From martian 
meteorites () to pallasites (Springwater). Another meteorites containing 
merrillite are Portales Valley, Forest Vale, Ankober, Allegan, Allegan, 
Estacado, and several more.


And among the acapulcoites are Dhofar 1222.

It doesn't seem to be such a rare phosphate to me.

I doubt many is a old news, seen the found have
presented in the last Met.Society Meeting

A NEW IRON-NICKEL PHOSPHIDE FROM THE NORTHWEST AFRICA
1054 METEORITE. V. Moggi-Cecchi1, L.Bindi2, and G.
Pratesi2,3, 1Museo di Scienze Planetarie, Provincia di
Prato, Via Galcianese, 20/h, I-59100 Prato, Italy,
2Museo di Storia Naturale, Università degli Studi di
Firenze, I-50121 Firenze, Italy, 3Dipartimento di
Scienze della Terra, Università di Firenze, Via La
Pira, 4, I-50121, Florence, Italy 

Introduction: NWA 1054 is a primitive achondrite
(acapulco-ite) with a main mass weighing 86 g. The
thin section displays a granular texture with olivine
and low-Ca pyroxene as major phases and high
Ca-pyroxene and plagioclase as minor; major
non-silicate phases are metal and troilite. Accessory
phases include merrillite, a Mg-rich chromite and two
iron-nickel phosphides. Terrestrial weathering grade
is low (W1) as well as shock stage (S1). The Museo di
Scienze Planetarie of Prato (MSP) owns the type
speci-men (MSP2366) [1]. 

Description: Six natural phophides are known:
schreibersite, (Fe,Ni,)3P, nickelphosphide (Ni,Fe)3P
[2], barringerite (Fe,Ni)2P [3], allabogdanite
(Fe,Ni)2P [4], florenskyite FeTiP [5] and perry-ite,
(Ni,Fe)8(Si,P)3 [6]. In the course of a study on some
acapulco-ites a new rather common iron-nickel
phosphide was discovered in the NWA 1052 and 1054
acapulcoites [7]. The chemical composi-tion of the new
phase, determined by EMPA, is
(Ni2.30Fe1.64Co0.01)#931;=3.95P1.05, pointing to a
4:1 metal/phosphorous ratio. It occurs as anhedral
grains up to 100 #956;m either associated with
kamacite (Fig. 1A) or with nickelphosphide (Fig. 1B).
Micro-indentation measurements provided a value (447
kg/mm2) lower than nickelphosphide. In reflected
light, the new phase is cream-yellowish, non
pleochroic, isotropic, and shows no bireflectance,
without internal reflections. Reflectance values are
60.56, 50.44 52.51 and 55.94 % at 471.1, 548.3, 586.6,
and 652.3 nm, respec-tively. A single-crystal X-ray
diffraction study, carried out on a small crystal
fragment, indicates a cubic lattice with a = 6.025 ±
0.001 and points to a space group P213 with Z = 4.
Both the coor-dination-number (12) and the density
(7.882 g/cc) are the highest ever reported for
phosphorus and iron-nickel phosphides, respec-tively. 

Conclusions: The structure and the physical properties
suggest that the new iron nickel phosphide could play
an important role for Earth’s core mineralogy. Due to
the presence of this phase NWA 1054 acapulcoite seems
to be a really peculiar acapulcoite if com-pared with
literature data [8-9].

2005-11-26 Thread Göran Axelsson

I see the problem here. You said it was named merrillite in your
second mail and that was the mineral name I commented. In the abstract
it is one of the accessory minerals, not the name of the new phosphide.
I can't see anything about the name of the new phosphide mentioned in
the abstract. I doubt that melliniite is the official name as it usually
takes a long time to get a new mineral name accepted. But it probably is
the proposed name.

Hi Göran,

I have another guess.
At the Museo di Scienze Planetarie of Prato
(http://www.mspo.it/ingl/homei.html)
is working a mineralogist a certain Marcello Mellini (Modesty is his middle
name).
In a sudden fit of unassumigness, he decided to name the new mineral
nahabedite. Matteo couldn't accept this honour and in a generous act of
reconciliation,
he proposed to name it farmerite. Unfortunately all his emails ended up in
Mike's spam folder,
but the professor couldn't wait anylonger with the publication,
so that he finally called it:
Mellini-ite.

experts presents in Italy.
These searches have been carried out in the course of a thesis of

  Hehe, the Museo played some jokes with you.
  
  Melinite is an explosive, invented by Eugène
 Turpin (1848-1927) (a relative
  of Ben Turpin?)

  was used at that time as filling of grenades.
  
  And melinite is an anagram of ilmenite, found in
 moon rocks...

 Hi Göran,
 
 I have another guess.
 At the Museo di Scienze Planetarie of Prato
 (http://www.mspo.it/ingl/homei.html)
 is working a mineralogist a certain Marcello Mellini
 (Modesty is his middle
 name).
 In a sudden fit of unassumigness, he decided to name
 the new mineral
 nahabedite. Matteo couldn't accept this honour and
 in a generous act of
 reconciliation,
 he proposed to name it farmerite. Unfortunately
 all his emails ended up in
 Mike's spam folder,
 but the professor couldn't wait anylonger with the
 publication,
 so that he finally called it:
 Mellini-ite.
 
 Buckleboo.
