And that's a FACT. Scientists have been studying a bafflingly small meteorite found in the late 60's in Antarctica and have discovered that it's made of a brand new mineral!

I have NO idea what anything like this could be used for...what useful object requires both strength and stench...but it opens the mind...what other valuable minerals could be floating around in space?
