Name:
From Swedish "stenhuggar", meaning "stone mason," for Brian Harold Mason (1917-2009), a New Zealandic-American geochemist, mineralogist and meteoriticist. He graduated from Canterbury University, New Zealand. He served as a Curator of Mineralogy at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and as Curator of Meteorites at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. He was a proponent for the systematic collection of meteorites and studied moon rocks. He was a recipient of the Leonard Medal and the Roebling Medal.
