xenomineralogists
Xenomineralogy is a hypothetical field of study concerned with the identification, classification, and analysis of minerals originating from extraterrestrial sources. While terrestrial mineralogy focuses on Earth's geological formations, xenomineralogy would extend this discipline to celestial bodies such as asteroids, comets, planets, and moons. Xenomineralogists would investigate the composition, structure, and formation processes of these alien minerals, often utilizing samples obtained through space missions, meteorite analysis, or potentially future extraterrestrial mining operations.
The study of xenomineralogy would aim to understand the geological evolution of other worlds, compare and contrast
