Wustite

Formula : Fe0.947O

Family: 
Oxides
Space group: 
Isometric - Hexoctahedral H-M Symbol (4/m 3 2/m) Space Group: F m3m
Dana class: 
4.2.1.6 (4) Simple Oxides (4.2) with a cation charge of 2+ (A++ O) (4.2.1) Periclase group (Isometric, Fm3m)
High temperature: 
Wustite can be produced at laboratory scale at around 250C by reduction with the hydrogen. In conclusion wustite needs reduced environment and it can be considred as a high temperature mineral.
Geological context: 
Wustite mineral is rare as natural occurrence. It is found associated as inclusions in the olivines derived from mantle but also as by product of smelting in slags.
