Pyroxferroite
Pyroxferroite (Fe2+,Ca)SiO3 is a single chain inosilicate. It is mostly composed of iron, silicon and oxygen, with smaller fractions of calcium and several other metals.〔 Together with armalcolite and tranquillityite, it is one of the three minerals which were discovered on the Moon. It was then found in Lunar and Martian meteorites as well as a mineral in the Earth's crust. Pyroxferroite can also be produced by annealing synthetic clinopyroxene at high pressures and temperatures. The mineral is metastable and gradually decomposes at ambient conditions, but this process can last billions of years.
==Etymology==
Pyroxferroite is named from ''pyroxene'' and ''ferrum'' (Latin for iron), as the iron-rich analogue of pyroxmangite.〔 The word pyroxene, in turn comes from the Greek words for ''fire'' (πυρ) and ''stranger'' (ξένος). Pyroxenes were named this way because of their presence in volcanic lavas, where they are sometimes seen as crystals embedded in volcanic glass; it was assumed they were impurities in the glass, hence the name "fire strangers". However, they are simply early-forming minerals that crystallized before the lava erupted.〔(Concise English Dictionary ), Wordsworth Editions, 2007 ISBN 1-84022-497-5 p. 757〕〔William Alexander Deer, Robert Andrew Howie, J.
