What Is Garnierite? Meaning of Garnierite

Also known as green nickel ore, Garnierite is not truly considered a mineral according to the experts. This is because it is thought to have formed within rock pockets.

Its chemical formula has not been totally decided and these stones may consist of a mix of minerals, and some mineral experts feel that the stone may be man-made.

While it is not the same stone as Falcondoite, many samples of this rock have a high amount of Falcondoite in them.

Garnierite is a stone that was fairly uncommon in the past, but more of the stone has reached the market recently.

Garnier was a geologist who in 1867 wrote about his discovery of this mineral.

It is also known as Noumeite, as it was originally thought to be a separate type of stone. 

This name comes from the place where it was discovered in Noumea in New Caledonia in the southwest pacific.

It is an important ore of nickel and as it has a high nickel content these crystals are generally a green color.

They have a colour range that varies from dark to very light, with the depth of color in the stone relating to the level of nickel in individual pieces.
