I've been eaten by a grue but this match pulled me back because #azurite my beloved,,,,
Look, #kosmochlor is a space rock, big whoop. Did you miss they've also found it terrestrially? (Is it remnants of Other Space Rock? Maybe. Shhhhh.) They buried the lede that it's a #clinopyroxene: it's a *temperature and pressure indicator*. I.e., certain formations, colors, levels of occurrence, etc etc etc, say a LOT about how hot e.g. a magma was, what other minerals and ores might be (geologically) nearby, what stressors were on these rocks over time, etc.
Clinopyroxenes are, for the most part, *scientifically* valuable rather than monetarily, aiui. (#Jadeite is a notable exception.) (#Nephrite is not even a clinopyroxine!) (Freely admit I may be wrong!)
Aaaaanyway: scientifically, yes, it's super cool. Azurite is a favorite and I gotta vote for one of my favorite copper minerals. 😂🤷🏻
(Let's be real, bar a wild upset, the space mineral will win. But azurite tho. Aaaaaaazuuuuuuriiiiiiiite.)

Jadeite rock outcrop at Clear Creek, near Paicines, California. BLM Clear Creek Management Area is home to many different types of minerals and metals. Jadeite is common, and Mercury and Asbestos (Serpentine) were mined and quarried at CCMA, on a huge scale. This is an outtake from the upcoming YouTube video covering our visit to CCMA. #offroad #dirtroad #bureauoflandmanagement #jadeite #serpentine #mypubliclands #ccma #clearcreekmanagementarea #offthebeatentrack #fourwheeltravel
