“The Barringer Crater in Arizona, United States, was formed by the asteroid Canyon Diablo meteorite, where Lonsdaleite was first found in 1967. The mineral lonsdaleite was named after Kathleen Lonsdale, the first female fellow of the Royal Society and an early innovator in crystallography from the United Kingdom.” - from Abed Serhan’s article in Engineerine.com
