I just listed this and thought I'd share for those that haven't seen this. It is very rare nickelite or nickeline from Cobalt Ontario. It's crazy reflective so was real hard to get pictures. The color is so pretty. It's like rose gold, so I used rose gold to wrap it. I like this way more than silver in cobaltite due to the color. Check out the silver edged plumes in the close up. This stuff is found in the same area as the silver, so maybe it is silver... dunno.

Thanks for looking.

Ninkeline, according to Mindat, is Arsenical Nickel (NIAs) so I hope that the cabochon cutter is taking steps to avoid the arsenic.

Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.” —Friedrich Nietzsche

Yeah, I wore a respirator. The day I cut this, I cut a whole bunch of silver in cobaltite, cobaltite and 2 of these. I pretty much had a mask on all day. Don't like to do it, but sometimes you have to.

Down the drain, yes. I suppose I may have broken a law somewhere. Not the livingroom- the diningroom -where we eat. If anyone dies, I'll let you know.
