Interesting. I once had a geology class whose instructor had discovered a new mineral. He did a study in Antarctica and found a compound that had not previously been observed as a solid.

It’s kind of fascinating that there may be almost 1,600 minerals yet to be found. Your professor found an unusual one. Interesting tie in with environment/temperature.
