Osbornite is a naturally occurring variety of titanium nitride which has been found in meteorites and was first discovered in the Bustee meteorite in the late nineteenth century.[1] Its crystals are golden-yellow octahedrons, combined with oldhamite. It is friable and does not dissolve in acids.[2]
