Keilite is an iron-magnesium sulfide mineral with the chemical formula Template:Chem2 that is found in enstatite chondrites.[1] Keilite is the iron-dominant analog of niningerite.[2][3] Keilite is named after Klaus Keil (born 1934).[2]

Occurrences

Examples of keilite occurrences are enstatite chondrites and the Zakłodzie meteorite.[3] It appears to be confined to impact-melt influenced enstatite chondrites that were quenched. There are also some meteorites interpreted as impact-melt breccias that do not contain keilite. This is explained as a deeper burial after impact, which slowed cooling and enabled retrograde reactions (diapthoresis) to take place.[4]
