Native element minerals

Native element minerals

  • Meteoric iron
    Meteoric iron, sometimes meteoritic iron, is a native metal found in meteorites and made from the elements iron and nickel mainly in the form of the mineral phases kamacite and taenite.
  • Lonsdaleite
    Lonsdaleite (named in honour of Kathleen Lonsdale), also called hexagonal diamond in reference to the crystal structure, is an allotrope of carbon with a hexagonal lattice.
  • Tantalum carbide
    Tantalum carbides form a family of binary chemical compounds of tantalum and carbon with the empirical formula TaCx, where x usually varies between 0.
  • Moissanite
    Moissanite (/ˈmɔɪsənaɪt/), is the name given to naturally occurring silicon carbide and to its various crystalline polymorphs.
  • Electrum
    Electrum is a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver, with trace amounts of copper and other metals.
  • Awaruite
    Awaruite is a naturally occurring alloy of nickel and iron with a composition from Ni2Fe to Ni3Fe.
  • Native copper
    Native copper is an uncombined form of copper which occurs as a natural mineral.
  • Telluric iron
    Telluric iron, also called native iron, is iron that originated on Earth, and is found in a metallic form rather than as an ore.
  • Kamacite
    Kamacite is an alloy of iron and nickel, which is found on Earth only in meteorites.
  • Native tungsten
    Native tungsten is the mineral form of the metal tungsten, with the accepted name simply tungsten.
  • Brownleeite
    Brownleeite is a silicide mineral with chemical formula MnSi.
  • Octasulfur
    Octasulfur is an inorganic chemical with the chemical formula S8.
  • Chaoite
    Chaoite, or white carbon, is a mineral described as an allotrope of carbon whose existence is disputed.
  • Taenite
    Taenite (Fe,Ni) is a mineral found naturally on Earth mostly in iron meteorites.
  • Icosahedrite
    Icosahedrite is the first known naturally occurring quasicrystal phase.
  • Cohenite
    Cohenite is a naturally occurring iron carbide mineral with the chemical structure (Fe, Ni, Co)3C.
  • Haxonite
    Haxonite is an iron nickel carbide mineral found in iron meteorites and carbonaceous chondrites.
  • Schreibersite
    Schreibersite is generally a rare iron nickel phosphide mineral, (Fe,Ni)3P, though common in iron-nickel meteorites.
  • Auricupride
    Auricupride is a natural alloy that combines copper and gold.
  • Cupalite
    Cupalite is a rare mineral which is mostly composed of copper and aluminium, but might contain up to several percent of zinc or iron; its chemical structure is therefore described by an approximate formula (Cu,Zn)Al or (Cu,Fe)Al.
  • Khatyrkite
    Khatyrkite (pronunciation: /ˈkæti.ərkaɪt/ KAT-ee-ər-kyt) is a rare mineral which is mostly composed of copper and aluminium, but might contain up to about 15% of zinc or iron; its chemical structure is described by an approximate formula (Cu,Zn)Al2 or (Cu,Fe)Al2.
  • Moschellandsbergite
    Moschellandsbergite is a rare isometric mineral made up of a silver-white amalgam of mercury and silver with the chemical makeup Ag2Hg3.
  • Zhanghengite
    Zhanghengite is a mineral consisting of 80% copper and zinc, 10% iron with the balance made up of chromium and aluminium.
  • Hexamolybdenum
    Hexamolybdenum, is a molybdenum dominant alloy discovered during a nanomineralogy investigation of the Allende meteorite.
  • Material properties of diamond
    Diamond is the allotrope of carbon in which the carbon atoms are arranged in the specific type of cubic lattice called diamond cubic.
  • Cabriite
    Cabriite (Pd2SnCu) is a mineral first found in the eastern Siberian region of Russia and named for the Canadian mineralogist Louis J.
  • Rosickýite
    Rosickyite is a rare native element mineral that is a polymorph of sulfur.
  • Native aluminium
    Native aluminium (IMA1980-085a) is a natural occurrence of aluminium.
  • Suessite
    Suessite is a rare iron silicide mineral with chemical formula: Fe3Si.
  • Titanium (native)
    Native titanium (IMA2010-044) is a natural occurrence of titanium.
  • Hapkeite
    Hapkeite is a mineral discovered in the Dhofar 280 meteorite found in 2000 in Oman on the Arabian peninsula.
  • Qingsongite
    Qingsongite /ˈtʃɪŋsɒŋaɪt/ is a rare boron nitride mineral with cubic crystalline form.
  • Roaldite
    Roaldite is a rare meteorite mineral containing iron, nickel and nitrogen ((Fe,Ni)4N).
  • Sinoite
    Sinoite is rare mineral with the chemical formula Si2N2O.
  • Cliftonite
    Cliftonite is a natural form of graphite that occurs as small octahedral inclusions in iron-containing meteorites, such as Campo del Cielo.
  • Stibarsen
    Stibarsen or allemontite is a natural form of arsenic antimonide (AsSb) or antimony arsenide (SbAs).
