But, when this material started cooling, the first minerals, including hibonite, started forming inside space rocks.
As the hibonite crystals found in the Australian meteorite also carried very similar traits, the team decided to analyze its makeup in detail.
Graining in pink diamond * Yellow HPHT-treated rough diamond * Color-zoned emerald * Orange faceted eosphorite * Large faceted
hibonite * Dyed and natural green jadeite * Coated kornerupine beads * Assembled cultured blister pearl * Large abalone pearls * Irradiated green-blue CVD synthetic diamonds * Polished topaz imitating diamond rough.

There is upside risk to our reserves forecast from New World's Danica Jutland prospects and from Wintershall's
Hibonite discovery.
Behier, in collaboration with analytical laboratories in Madagascar, France and Washington, discovered approximately 70 mineral species new to Madagascar, as well as the new mineral species
hibonite. Until his death in 1965, he also worked at the organization and improvement of the Musee National de Geologie (National Museum of Geology) and the Laboratory of Mineralogy of the Service Geologique.

Other minerals in the residues are: spinel, chromite,
hibonite, rutlie, a Na-Cr silicate, diamond, silicon carbide and [Beta]-[Si.sub.3][N.sub.4], the hexagonal ([P6.sub.3]/m) polymorph of nierite ([Alpha]-[Si.sub.3][N.sub.4]).
