Called "carmeltazite", the article states -
"the mineral mix constituting carmeltazite has been identified in rocks from outer space, says Abraham Taub, CEO of the Israeli gemstone-mining company, Shefa Yamim, that found it.
But this is the first time it’s been found on Earth, he says."

I believe it was discovered in the Autrian Star System during the second voyage of the Star Ship Enterprise.

Meteorites maybe? How scientists know what anything in space is made of, I couldn't tell you.

Now this I find interesting

"Created by volcanic blasts in Cretaceous Israel, Shefa Yamim’s carmeltazite is like sapphire, in chemical composition and sometimes in look too"​

and

"The carmeltazite was found within sapphires"

"Density testing shows that carmeltazite is harder than diamond"​
