When, in the medieval German Erzgebirge (ore mountains), a red mineral resembling copper-ore was found, the miners looking for copper could extract none from it, as it contains none. They blamed a mischievous sprite of German mythology, Nickel (similar to Old Nick) for besetting the copper (German: Kupfer): the mischievous Kupfernickel. This German equivalent of "copper-nickel" was used as early as 1694 (other old German synonyms are Rotnickelkies and Arsennickel).
In 1751, Baron Axel Fredrik Cronstedt was attempting to extract copper from kupfernickel mineral, and obtained instead a white metal that he called after the spirit, nickel. In modern German, Kupfernickel and Kupfer-Nickel designates the alloy Cupronickel.
The names Nickeline (Nickeline or niccolite is a mineral consisting of Nickel arsenide (CAS NO.27016-75-7), NiAs, containing 43.9% nickel and 56.1% arsenic.Small quantities of sulfur, iron and cobalt are usually present, and sometimes the arsenic is largely replaced by antimony. Forms an isomorphous series with breithauptite (nickel antimonide).)(F. S. Beudant, 1832) and niccolite (J. D. Dana, 1868) refer to the presence of nickel (Lat. niccolum).
