In a specimen that may be a hematite, a strong presence of nickel was found.
Is that possible? While the specimen is very attractive to magnets, tests
positive for nickel, and looks and weighs like iron, it has many pock marks
and some white inclusions that may be quartz. Anyone come across similar
specimens?
