Perryite is a nickel silicide mineral. It is found in extremely silicon-rich meteorites. The type material is housed at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington.[1] It was first found in Horse Creek and described in 1963 by Fredriksson and Wickman.[2] It was named after Stuart Hoffman Perry, an American meteorite collector. The mineral is typically found intermixed with troilite, an iron sulfide.[2] It is a minor constituent of metal enstatite chondrite meteorites.[3]
