A rare iron-nickel phosphide mineral found in meteorites and some terrestrial rocks.
Named after Dr. Albert George Cohenite, a mineralogist, using the mineralogical -ite suffix. Identified and named in the 19th century.
Cohenite is so rare and valuable to scientists because it only forms under extreme pressure—finding it in meteorites tells us about conditions in outer space!
