Abstract
Trevorite from the well-known nickel occurrence in the Bon Accord area, Barberton, is redescribed. The mineral is the major constituent of the assemblage trevorite-nickel olivine-nickel serpentine-nickel chlorite.
The trevorite has 7.703 nickel ions per 32 oxygen ions in the unit cell, a cell edge of 8.339 (1) A, a reflectivity of 24 percent at 589 nm, a Vickers hardness of 917 kg/mm3 with lOOmg load, and a measured specific gravity of 5.332 (15).
