Sort of a fitting thing (farringtonite) as Farrington was Nininger's
mentor! Now which came first? The farrington or the Niningerite?

KEIL K., SNETSINGER K.G. (1967) Niningerite: A new
meteoritic sulfide - (Mg,Fe)S (Science 155, 451-453).

Farringtonite was discovered prior to 1967 - I think in 1961.

Best wishes,
