Description: | Mineral hand specimen of Nickeline (Niccolite), Magnetite and Calcite associated with Skarn. Collected from Lady's Rake Mine, Frog Hall, Forest and Frith, Teesdale, Co Durham (NE England). Collected by B. Young.
Niccolite, as its name suggests, is an ore of nickel. This specimen is from Lady's Rake Mine in Teesdale, Durham, where it has been found in small quantities. Niccolite has a distinctive copper red colour, and occurs in this example with calcite (white) and magnetite (black). Important deposits of this mineral occur at Cobalt, Ontario, in Canada, and Cornwall and Germany. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Subjects: | B.
