About NickelineHide

Formula:
NiAs
Colour:
Pale copper red
Lustre:
Metallic
Hardness:
5 - 5½
Specific Gravity:
7.784
Crystal System:
Hexagonal
Member of:
Name:
Originally named kupfernickel in 1694 by Urban Hjärne from the German nickname for Satan or Nick (in the sense of a mischievous deceiver), because the ore seemed to contain copper but yielded none. Renamed nickeline in 1832 by François Sulpice Beudant in allusion to its nickel contents. Also renamed niccolite by James Dwight Dana in 1868 from the Latin "niccolum".
Isostructural with:
The most common member of the nickeline group. An important nickel ore mineral.

Compare, e.g, rammelsbergite, pararammelsbergite, and (now approved/redefined) dienerite.
