About HeideiteHide

H. W. F. "Fritz" Heide

Formula:

(Fe,Cr)_1.15(Ti,Fe)₂S₄

Colour:

steel grey

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

3½ - 4½

Specific Gravity:

3.942

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Name:

Named in honor of Hermann Wilhelm Friedrich "Fritz" Heide (19 December 1891 - 17 December 1973), German meteoricist, Jena, in 1965. One area of his work was the question of why the largest meteorite impact craters did not produce meteorites, and whether very large meteorites could vaporize on impact.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Bustee meteorite, Gorakhpur, Basti District, Uttar Pradesh, India
