Improving Mindat.orgNickeline from Bohemia

http://www.mindat.org/photo-705771.html this does not look like nickeline, it looks like maucherite judging from the color and crystal structure.

Hi Reiner,

but maucherite is not listed from this locality.

Just because it is not listed does not mean it can not be found there. The mineralogy and geology are correct for maucherite.

Hi,


it is very probably etched (cleaned) specimen from this locality, I think that in that case could look like this. But only analyse could say it for sure.

I have cleaned hundreds of samples of nickeline and have never seen a result like that.
