1. pentlandite

   Pentlandite is a bronze-yellow mineral, essentially nickel sulfide (Ni,Fe)9S8, generally in homogeneous intergrowths with the iron sulfide pyrrhotite and the copper irons sulfide chalcopyrite. It is the most important nickel-bearing mineral and commonly occurs as small grains with other sulfide minerals and silicates in basic and ultrabasic igneous rocks such as the norites of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa.
