No literature on Ferrum Silicate is to be found anywhere online or in the copy of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry And Physics I checked. But why assume? I am sure this russian scientist would have no problem allowing his samples to be independently analyzed so his hoax can be clarified. Besides, is he really claiming a natural mineral found in rock on Earth can't be made anywhere except in space?
