Metallic meteorites are composed primarily of the iron-nickel alloys: taenite (high nickel content) and kamacite (low nickel content). However, there are a few areas on earth where truly native iron can be found. [10] [11] Native nickel has been described in serpentinite due to hydrothermal alteration of ultramafic rocks in New Caledonia and ...
Taenite is 20% to 65% nickel. Kamacite and taenite are also found in nickel iron meteorites. [40] Nickel is commonly found in iron meteorites as the alloys kamacite and taenite. Nickel in meteorites was first detected in 1799 by Joseph-Louis Proust, a French chemist who then worked in Spain.

Nickel production in FY2008 was 41,800 tonnes (41,100 long tons; 46,100 short tons) of contained nickel [1] and in 2014 was 41,000 tonnes (40,000 long tons; 45,000 short tons). [3] In 2017, Colombia was the 11th highest producer of nickel in the world [6]: 112–113 with about 9% of its total mining value coming from nickel. [7]
Indonesia is the largest nickel producer in the world, with around 1.6 million tonnes of nickel produced in 2022, up from 1.04 million tonnes in 2021. In comparison, total global production of nickel in 2022 was around 3.3 million tonnes. [11]
