Northrup and team’s paper doesn’t confirm what this mineral is, but further study of the asteroid material later in 2024 turned up hydrated ammonium magnesium phosphorus (HAMP). This is a crystalline mineral not found on our planet that is most similar to Earthly struvite.
Struvite is closely linked to biological formation, and it is a major part of some kidney stones.
„The finding of HAMP grains in the Ryugu samples continues to highlight the potential role of extraterrestrial matter in originating life on Earth,“ wrote astrobiologist Matthew Pasek for Nature Astronomy in 2024.
