Silver-bearing Pentlandite
A variety of Pentlandite
This page is currently not sponsored. Click here to sponsor this page.
Formula:
(Ni,Fe,Ag)9S8
The metals are either in tetrahedral or octahedral coordination by the sulphur atoms in the pentlandite structure. When Ag substitutes it goes exclusively into the octahedral position.
