violarite, while nickel recovery may be improved if it is possible to transform violarite back to pentlandite. Figure 1: Occurrences of violarite in ore deposits. (a) Violarite forming as exsolution from pentlandite. Mt Keith Nickel Mine, WA. (b) Violarite forming during the weathering of pentlandite along rims and cracks of pentlandite crystals.
