It crystallizes in the cubic crystal system, but typically occurs as anhedral grains between other minerals. Discovery and occurrenceIt was first described in 1862 for an occurrence in the Bustee meteorite, Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was named for Irish geologist Thomas Oldham (1816–1878), the Director of the Indian Geological Survey.[1][2] It occurs as an interstitial mineral phase between silicate minerals in enstatite chondrite and achondrite meteorites.[1][3] It occurs in association with enstatite, augite, niningerite, osbornite, troilite, gypsum and calcite.[1] It has been reported from a variety of meteorite locations around the world including the Allan Hills 84001 meteorite of Antarctica. It has also been reported from a slag occurrence in France and a coal deposit in Poland.[2] See also
