Enstatite
Enstatite is a mineral; the magnesium endmember of the pyroxene silicate mineral series enstatite (MgSiO3) – ferrosilite (FeSiO3). An emerald-green variety of enstatite is called chrome-enstatite and is cut as a gemstone.

Enstatite chondrite
Enstatite chondrites (E-type chondrites) are a rare form of meteorite, rich in the mineral enstatite. All enstatite chondrites are dominantly composed of enstatite-rich chondrules plus abundant grains of metal and sulfide minerals.

Aubrite
They are primarily composed of the orthopyroxene enstatite and are often called enstatite achondrites. Their igneous origin separates them from primitive enstatite achondrites and means they originated in an asteroid.

Oldhamite
It occurs as an interstitial mineral phase between silicate minerals in enstatite chondrite and achondrite meteorites. It occurs in association with enstatite, augite, niningerite, osbornite, troilite, gypsum and calcite.

Bronzite
Enstatite is magnesium silicate, , with the magnesium partly replaced by small amounts (up to about 12%) of Fe+2. The enstatite endmember has a positive optic sign, whereas bronzite and hypersthene both show a negative optic sign.

Niningerite
Niningerite is a magnesium-iron-manganese sulfide mineral with the chemical formula MgS that is found in enstatite chondrite meteorites.

Hypersthene
Many references have formally abandoned this term, preferring to categorise this mineral as enstatite or ferrosilite. It forms a solid solution series with the minerals enstatite and ferrosilite, being a mid-way member between the two.

Abee (meteorite)
Abee is an enstatite chondrite meteorite that fell on 9 June 1952 in Alberta, Canada.
History
The Abee meteorite fell at 11:05 p.m. on 9 June 1952. Classification
Abee is classified as an enstatite chondrite with a petrologic type 4, thus belonging to the group EH4.

Incongruent melting
Another mineral that can melt incongruently is enstatite (Mg2Si2O6), which produces forsterite (Mg2SiO4) in addition to a melt richer in SiO2 when melting Enstatite melts congruently at higher pressures between 2.5 and 5.5 kilobars.

Keilite
Occurrences
Examples of keilite occurrences are enstatite chondrites and the Zakłodzie meteorite. It appears to be confined to impact-melt influenced enstatite chondrites that were quenched.

Zaklodzie meteorite
It is composed predominantly from enstatite and meteoric iron. The magma originated from the partial melt of an enstatite chondrite source.
