Lorcélite et les minéraux associés du système Ni — Fe — As — S dans des chromitites et orthopyroxénites de Nebral, Mâlaga, Espagne.
Occurrence
The Cr — Ni-deposits in the peridotites of Mâlaga, South Spain (Gilman, 1896; Hernandéz-Pacheco, 1967 ; Oen, 1973), and of Beni Bouchera, North Moroc¬ co (Agard et ai, 1959 ; Mikahilov, 1975 ; Vinogradova et al, 1976; Oen and Kieft, 1974, 1977), are of a peculiar
type that is not known from other regions in the world. In the Spanish province of Mâlaga, nickel arsenide-bearing chromitite pods and veins — generally too small for economic exploitation — occur closely associated with pyroxenite dykes in the peridotites at Los Jarales near Caratraca and at La Gallega, Nebral, Lentisco and Baeza in the Sierra Alpujata near Ojén.
