In Qingzhen (EH3), oldhamite contains numerous types of inclusions and intergrows with other phases; but in equilibrated enstatite chondrites and aubrites, it usually occurs as individual grains. We suggest that oldhamite in unequilibrated enstatite chondrites crystallized from a melt, probably during chondrule formation. Subsequent thermal metamorphism on the parent bodies further modified the oldhamite occurrences in enstatite chondrites. This suggestion is consistent with the results of melting experiments on UECs and aubrites and with the volatile element enrichments in this mineral. We analyzed minor and trace element abundances in diopside from two aubrites. These data and petrographic observations suggest that diopside formed by igneous crystallization. We report the first known occurrence of roedderite in an aubrite and its major, minor, and trace element concentrations. This mineral is rich in alkalis, but depleted in siderophile and refractory lithophile elements. A negative Sm anomaly was noted in albite from equilibrated enstatite chondrites and aubrites.
