Eugene (Gene) Jarosewich (1926–2007) was a chemist in the department of mineral sciences at the Smithsonian Institution.[1] Jarosewich was known worldwide for wet chemical analyses of meteorites.[2] Working with specimens from the National Mineral Collection, Gene and his co-workers also developed a set of commonly used standards for electron microprobe analyses.
The mineral Jarosewichite[3] and asteroid 4320 Jarosewich[4] are named in his honor.
