| Ferri-molybdite |
I found the spelling: Ferrimolybdite on Wikipedia. The mineral is an hydrous iron Molybdate. This sample is from Salt County, Utah. It is a product of the oxidation of molybdenum, a word I came across related to aircraft. It was the solution for the compressor blades in the German jet fighter, ME 262. It lasted much longer and required fewer engine rebuilds than the metal used originally. It has the sixth highest melting point of any element on Earth.
