==Origin of the name== [[Jules Garnier]], a French geologist, published his work on the geology of [[New Caledonia]] in 1867, announcing the discovery of nickel there.<ref name=Faust/> Garnierite was named for Jules Garnier in a paper by [[Archibald Liversidge]] in 1874.<ref name=Pecora/> When Liversidge sent a copy of his paper to Garnier, Garnier replied that the new mineral [[noumeite]] being described in the paper sounded very much like a mineral he had described in his 1869 paper. Liversidge decided to name the new mineral garnierite in honor of Garnier and gave the name noumeaite to a second mineral found in the same general area in New Caledonia.<ref name=Pecora/><ref name=Liversidge/>
