Enstatite is one of the few silicate minerals that have been observed in crystalline form outside the Solar System, particularly around evolved stars and planetary nebulae such as NGC 6302.

While of the 27 aubrites, 15 are fragmental breccias, their ingredients are clearly of igneous origin and formed by melting and fractional crystallization, possibly of a magma ocean. Age dates suggest that the aubrites formed very early in the history of the solar system, within a few million years of CAI formation, and that the heat sources for heating and melting of their parent bodies were, most likely, short-lived radionuclides such as Al and, perhaps, Fe. Finally, attention has been drawn to the surface composition of Mercury of low bulk FeO and of nearly FeO-free enstatite. Meteoriticists should be alert to the potential discovery of a genuine meteorite from Mercury which, superficially, should resemble aubrites.”  — from <a href=\"\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external free\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.sciencedirect.com\u002Fscience\u002Farticle\u002Fpii\u002FS0009281910000073\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.sciencedirect.com\u002Fscience\u002Farticle\u002Fpii\u002FS0009281910000073\u003C\u002Fa>\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow\">Geochemistry 2010<\u002Fa>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>From the <a href=\"\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external free\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lpi.usra.edu\u002Fmeteor\u002Fmetbull.php?code=62763\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lpi.usra.edu\u002Fmeteor\u002Fmetbull.php?code=62763\u003C\u002Fa>\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow\">Meterorolical Bulletin<\u002Fa> for NWA 10519:\n\"a brecciated texture dominated by sub-angular to rounded dark-green to tan metal-silicate clasts, separated by an anastomosing network of metal veins.

Noble gas signatures suggest that they are rather primitive achondrites that formed as residue after partial melting or recrystallized partial or complete melts. Currently, the most widely accepted interpretation is that these rocks were formed by crystallization of impact melt and therefore represent impact melt rocks or impact melt breccias. None of the scenarios, however, offers full, unequivocal explanation of how the texture was created and, as a consequence, what is the petrogenesis of these rocks.” — from <a href=\"\u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external free\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgfzpublic.gfz-potsdam.de\u002Frest\u002Fitems\u002Fitem_4169906_6\u002Fcomponent\u002Ffile_4636889\u002Fcontent\">https:\u002F\u002Fgfzpublic.gfz-potsdam.de\u002Frest\u002Fitems\u002Fitem_4169906_6\u002Fcomponent\u002Ffile_4636889\u002Fcontent\u003C\u002Fa>\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow\">Meteoritics and Planetary Science 2019<\u002Fa>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\nA small Near-Earth object, (3103) Eger, is also often suggested as the parent body of the aubrites.","Steve Jurvetson from Los Altos, USA",3490,2645,[],[257,258,259,260,261,262,263,264,265,266,267,268,269,270,271,272,273,274,275,276,277,278,279,280,281,282,283,284,285,286,287,288,289,290,291,292,293],"Argento vivo (archaic)","Dzīvsudrabs","Gyvsidabris","Idrargirio (archaic)","Kvikasilfur","Kvikksølv","Kviksølv","Kwik","Melekulia","Merc'her","Mercur","Mercure","Mercúrio","Mercùrio","Mercurio","Mercuriu","Mercurius","Mergher","Merkur","Merkúr","Merkurie","Merkurijus","Merkurio","Merkúríus","Merkurius","Merkurju","Merkurs","Merkury","Merrkuur","Quecksilber","Quicksilver","Rtęć","Thủy ngân","Thủy Tinh","Tîr","Živa","Živo srebro",[295,300,305,310,314,318,322,326,330,334,338,342,346,351,355],{"lang":296,"names":297},"ca",[298,299],"mercuri","mercuri (natiu)",{"lang":301,"names":302},"cs",[303,304],"rtuť","rtuť (minerál)",{"lang":306,"names":307},"de",[308,309],"gediegen Quecksilber","Quecksilber, gediegen",{"lang":311,"names":312},"fr",[313],"mercure natif",{"lang":315,"names":316},"ht",[317],"mèki",{"lang":319,"names":320},"hu",[321],"terméshigany",{"lang":323,"names":324},"it",[325],"mercurio nativo",{"lang":327,"names":328},"ja",[329],"自然水銀",{"lang":331,"names":332},"la",[333],"Hydrargyrum",{"lang":335,"names":336},"nl",[337],"mercury",{"lang":339,"names":340},"oc",[341],"Mercuri natiu",{"lang":343,"names":344},"pl",[345],"rtęć rodzima",{"lang":347,"names":348},"ru",[349,350],"ртуть самородная","самородная ртуть",{"lang":352,"names":353},"sk",[354],"ortuť",{"lang":356,"names":357},"uk",[358],"ртуть самородна","Q1250358",{"history":11,"applications":11}]
