NICCOLITE

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 646 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NICCOLITE , a
mineral
  consisting of nickel arsenide, NiAs, containing 43.9% nickel and 56.1% arsenic. Crystals are hexagonal, but are rare and indistinct. It usually occurs as compact masses. A characteristic feature is the
pale
  copper-red colour, with metallic lustre, on the uneven fractured surfaces. It is opaque and brittle, and the streak is brownish-black, The specific gravity is 7.5, and the hardness 51. Small quantities of
sulphur
 , iron and
cobalt
  are usually present, and sometimes the arsenic is largely replaced by antimony. Antimonial varieties are known as arite, and form a passage to the isomorphous species breithauptite (nickel antimonide). Niccolite occurs with ores of
cobalt
 , silver and copper at Annaberg and Schneeberg in Saxony, at Sangerhausen and Mansfeld in Prussian Saxony and other localities; it has occasionally been found in
Cornwall
  and
Scotland
 . The
original
  arite (aarite) is from
Mount
  Ar (Aar) near Pic du Midi d'Ossau in the Pyrenees.
The names niccolite (J. D.
Dana
 , 1868) and nickeline (F. S. Beudant, 1832) refer to the presence of nickel (Lat. niccolum). Owing to its copper-red colour the
mineral
  is commonly called " copper-nickel," the German equivalent of which, Kupfernickel, was used as early as 1694. (L. J. S.)
