Item Description
Rich and rare variable green garnierite from the Type Locality in the Pacific Ocean - New Caledonia. Garnierite is the generic name for a rare green nickel ore which has formed as a result of lateritic weathering of ultramafic rocks (serpentinite, dunite, peridotite) (MINDAT). It is the synonym of nepouite, pimelite and willemseite. This nearly solid ore specimen is complemented and contrasted with scattered matrix breccia fragments. Garnierite was discovered here in 1864. Specimens are rare from here and this is a very rich, colorful and excellent ore example of the Ni-rich species. Seldom on the market.
