Nickel is a metallic element. It is not found as a pure metal on the Earth's surface. There is however a vast quantity of metallic Nickel present in the Earth's core, it sank to the core along with all the metallic Iron on Earth and much of Earth's heavy elements as part of the 'Iron Cascade' (see related "planetary differentiation" link below) when the whole planet was molten.
The Nickel found as ores in surface rocks today was delivered to the earth by meteorite impacts after the Earth's surface had solidified. All the heavy elements found in surface rocks were delivered in this late, secondary veneer of planetary accretion.

What stage in the rock cycle is can every type of rock go through directly?
The stage in the rock cycle where every type of rock can go through directly is the metamorphic stage. This is where rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure, causing them to change into new types of rocks without needing to go through the other stages of the rock cycle.
What is the endpoint of a rock cycle?
The endpoint of the rock cycle is the formation of a new rock from the weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation of existing rocks. This process is continuous and cyclical, with rocks transitioning between the three types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
Is the rock cycle a biogeochemical cycle?
No, the rock cycle is not a biogeochemical cycle. The rock cycle describes the processes through which rocks are formed, weathered, and transformed over time due to geological forces, while biogeochemical cycles involve the movement of elements and compounds through biological, geological, and chemical processes in ecosystems.
