Summary

Analyses are presented for an iron-rich pentlandite associated with native copper and troilite from New Zealand and three cobalt-bearing pentlandites from Australia. Examination of 141 published analyses indicates that pentlandites, regardless of their Co content, can be classified on the basis of cell size, Fe content, Fe:Ni ratio, and the sulphide assemblage in which they occur. The cobaltian varieties show two separate trends.
