Stracherite is a mineral discovered at the Hatrurim Formation in Israel, by Evgeny Galuskin of the University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland, and colleagues. The mineral has a surprising structure composed of a unique mix of elements. It is the first carbonate-bearing member of a group of very rare minerals called the nabimusaite group, named for a similar mineral that also occurs at the Haturim Formation.[2] Galuskin named the mineral in honor of Glenn Stracher of East Georgia State College, USA, an expert on uncontrolled coal fires.[3]
