I doubt its a new mineral.

Its part of the monolith that the gov't brought back and has stored away in one of its many warehouses.

We have cures for AIDS and starving kids. It's called using a condom and eating.

Space exploration is incredibly important for the future of the human race.

I took that to mean the meteroite was found in 2000 and the mineral was discovered on the meteorite recently.
