If it was was originally labeled as bravoite, then there is a good 
chance the original labebler knew it was nickel-bearing, therefore the 
"nickeloan" or "nickel-bearing" pyrite would be appropriate.  If you are 
really particular about it, you can have someone with an EDS check it 
for nickel content.
