About AwaruiteHide

Awarua Bay, New Zealand

Formula:

Ni₃Fe

Colour:

Silver-white to grayish white

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

5

Specific Gravity:

7.8 - 8.22

Crystal System:

Isometric

Name:

Named for Awarua Bay and the Awarua River, New Zealand, thinking that was the type locality. However it was later learned that the true type locality was the Gorge River, more than 260 km away.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Gorge River, Westland District, West Coast Region, New Zealand

Occurs in chromitite associated with ultramafic igneous rocks, also in river placers from serpentinized peridotites and ophiolites. Awaruite is rare in meteorites.
