Original - Nickel, atomic number 28. One of the third (fourth) magnetic metals. Typical view of electrolytically refined nodules. Nickel is used in superalloys, stainless steel, coins and other important alloys.

Reason: a view of a typical (electrolytically refined) nickel nodule, incl. visible green nickel salts in the pores. (and Nergaals wish for more)
