Cronstedt, Axel Frederik (1722-65) Swedish mineralogist who in 1751 was the first to isolate nickel. He then demonstrated its magnetic properties. Cronstedt wrote an influential work. Essay towards a System of Mineralogy 7 58), in which he suggested that minerals should be classified using their chemical composition. 

The first reported use of nickel [7440-02-0] Ni, was in a nickel—copper—2inc alloy produced in China in the Middle Ages and perhaps earlier. Alloys of nickel may have been used in prehistoric times. The metal was first isolated for analytical study in the mid-1700s by Axel Cronstedt, who named it nickel, which derives from the German word kupfemickel, or false copper. 

Axel Frederik Cronstedt (1722-1765) obtained this shiny element during his investigation of niccolite (NiAs). 

Nickel (Ni, [Ar]3 4s2), name after the German kupfernickel (—false copper). Discovered (1751) by the Swedish chemist Axel F. Cronstedt. 

Nickel - the atomic number is 28 and the chemical symbol is Ni. The name derives from the German nickel for deceptive little spirit , since miners called mineral niccolite (NLAs) by the name kupfemickel (false copper) because it resembled copper ores in appearance but no copper was found in the ore. It was discovered by the Swedish metallurgist Axel-Fredrik Cronstedt in 1751. 

In 1751 Baron Axel Fredrick Cronstedt (1722-1765) used some of the techniques he had learned from his teacher, Georg Brandt (1694—1768), to separate a new metal from copper-hke ore mined in Sweden. He expected to obtain pure copper instead, he ended up with a silver-white metal that did not have the chemical and physical properties of copper. He named this newly identified metal nickel, shortened from the German name the early miners had given the ore kupfernickel. ...

On his way home from the Netherlands he studied mining and metallurgy in the Harz, and in 1727 he was placed in charged of the chemical laboratory at the Bureau of Mines in Stockholm, which was then in poor financial condition. After the laboratory was sold, Brandt and his students Henrik Teofil Scheffer and Axel Fredrik Cronstedt carried on their epoch-making researches at the Royal Mint, and in 1730 Brandt became assay master of the Mint. Three years later he published a systematic investigation of arsenic and its compounds in which he showed that arsenic is a semi-metal and that white arsenic [arsenious oxide] is its calx (35).

Birth of Axel Fredrik Cronstedt, the discoverer of nickel, in Sodermanland, Sweden. 

The name zeolite, which means boiling stone, was coined by the Scandinavian mineralogist Baron Axel Cronstedt, who observed that certain stones foamed and bubbled on heating.

Swedish mineralogist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt (1722-1765) was the first person to realize that nickel was a new element. In 1751, he was given a new mineral from a cobalt mine near the town of H singland, Sweden. While Cronstedt thought the ore might contain cobalt or copper, his tests produced a surprising result. He found something in the mineral that did not act like cobalt, copper, or any other known element. Cronstedt announced that he had found a new element. He used a shortened version of Kupfernickel for the name of the new element. He called it nickel.

In 1751 the Swedish chemist Axel F. Cronstedt found, near Bastnas, Sweden, a mineral that was eventually named cerita (its name related to the planetoid Ceres). Independently, Martin Klaproth, Jons J. Berzelius, and Wilhelm Hisinger, working with cerita, each isolated a product, ceria (in 1803), from which Carl G. Mosander obtained three different substances, as oxides cerium, lanthanum, and a mixture of oxides known as didymia. 

Nickel is a silver-white, lustrous metal. It was first isolated by Swedish chemist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt in 1751. Cronstedt had been attempting to isolate copper from a mineral called niccolite (the German word kupfer-nickel means Devil s copper or Qld Nick s copper ). He instead found nickel, which he named after the mineral.
