Overview

Carlsbergite is a nitride mineral that has the chemical formula CrN, or chromium nitride. It is named after the Carlsberg Foundation which backed the recovery of the Agpalilik fragment of the Cape York meteorite in which the mineral was first described. It occurs in meteorites along the grain boundaries of kamacite (nickel-rich native iron) or troilite (FeS: iron sulfide) in the form of tiny plates. It occurs associated with kamacite, taenite, daubreelite, troilite and sphalerite, (Zn,Fe)S.
