crystals grouped together like a sheaf or in fine, hair-like cr>'stals. There 

 are also two other compounds of Nickel with Sulphur Saynite Nij, S^, 

 and Beyrichite Ni^, S^, which are very rare, and Lillihammerite, found 

 in Norway, 2 Fe.,, S + Ni S, not magnetic. 



In combination with Antimony, as Breithauptite Ni Sb, isomorphous 

 with Nickeline, light copper red color. 



As a Sulpho- Arsenide, Gersdorfite, Ni As S, greyish tin white in color, 

 occurs in octahedrons. 



As a Sulpho-Antimonide. As Ullmannite, rare. 



As an Arsenate, as Nickel Bloom, an Arsenate containing water, and 

 is a product of decomposition of the arsenides. 



Besides these Nickel minerals we have the Pyrrhotite, containing 

 Nickel, and some Lead, Copper and Silver ores give considerable 

 amounts of Nickel during the process of smelting. 



The composition of the Meteorites is especially interesting, and I will 

 not pass them over with a mere mention.
