Awaruite : Ni₃Fe
	Josephine Creek, Josephine Creek District, Josephine Co., Oregon, USA 1.5 cm stream-rounded placer nugget. Labeled as "oregonite", but this specimen is visually identical to the much more common awaruite, and has not been tested to confirm identity. They are easily distinguished, as awaruite is strongly magnetic, while oregonite is not. S034-25 Excalibur Mineral specimen.

Awaruite : Ni₃Fe
	Josephine Creek, Josephine Creek District, Josephine Co., Oregon, USA This mineral looks like an ugly brown pebble! It is listed as josephenite, terrestrial nickel-iron. I took a close-up showing some orange patches on it, which I assume is rust. Specimen #4897. Field of view 1 cm. Take a look at the location list for josephenite (awaruite) - one of the locations is the moon!
