Abstract
Recent advancements of mineralogy on planetary materials have been reviewed to propose several topics for future studies. Comparisons of formation and evolution of planetary materials in planets of different sizes and histories enabled us to formulate a new veiw on evolution of planetary materials in the solar system. Circum steller grains in carbonaceous meteorites provided us with a new window to the stars. Hydrothermal alteration of carbonaceous chondrites left us a question what is the true primitive materials of the solar system. A large parent body of chondrites may facilitate minor differentiation even for the chondritic source materials. Impact metamorphism might have been an important process of the protocrust of protoplanets. New meteorites from the mare region of the moon suggested more diversity of materials will be obtained in future form the moon etc. What are representative Earth's minerels as a planetary materials? To answer these questions and to form more general views on planetary materials evolution, it will be required a more deep insight into planetary materials with the aid of newly developed equipments.
