Enstatite is usually found in areas where diamonds are mined. However, it also occurs in volcanic rocks and in stony meteorites. Enstatite is usually found in masses or in fibrous lamellar aggregates. It is found in association with olivine, phlogopite, clinopyroxene, diopside, spinel and pyrope.

Where is enstatite most commonly found?
