What is another word for ahlfeldite?
Pronunciation: [ˈɑːlfɪldˌa͡ɪt] (IPA) 
Ahlfeldite is a rare mineral composed primarily of nickel, sulfur, and arsenic. Since this mineral is so uncommon, there are very few synonyms for it. However, some similar minerals that may be mistaken for ahlfeldite include niccolite, cobaltite, and arsenopyrite.
Niccolite is a nickel arsenide mineral that occurs in similar environments as ahlfeldite. Cobaltite is a cobalt arsenide mineral that may appear similar due to its metallic luster and chemical composition. Arsenopyrite is another arsenic mineral and may resemble ahlfeldite in some ways. However, none of these minerals are true synonyms for ahlfeldite and have their own distinct characteristics.
