A valid IMA mineral species
This page is currently not sponsored. Click here to sponsor this page.
Formula:
Ni5P4
Crystal System:
Hexagonal
Name:
Named in 2014 by Sergey N. Britvin, Michail N. Murashko, Ye. Vapnik, Yury S. Polekhovsky, and Sergey V. Krivovichev for the type locality.
Known synthetic analogue (Zelinska M, Oryshchyn S, Zhak O, Pivan J Y, Potel M, 2007).
Halamishite can be used as a geothermometer indicating that formation of phosphide assemblages had occurred at a temperature below 870 °C.
Chemically related to nickelphosphide, melliniite, negevite, transjordanite, and 'Unnamed (Ni-Fe Phosphide)'.
