6 (0 ≥ × ≥1), with substitution of Ni and Mg for Cu (below: NMAL) was found in old metallurgical slags from the historical Lavrion mining district in Greece. NMAL forms reddish-black, with semimetallic lustre, prismatic to acicular crystals up to 1 mm long and up to 0.2 mm thick and is associated with anthropogenic counterparts of liebenbergite, trevorite, schaferite, bamiermanite, albite, nosean, hauyne and others. The crystal structure of NMAL was solved from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data (298 K), R = 0.0238. NMAL is orthorhombic, Pnma, a = 4.9573(3), b = 10.1672(8), c = 17.1605(12) Å, V= 864.92(11) Å
