ARSENOPYRITE FOR SALE
Arsenopyrite is a silver-white to steel-gray mineral with a metallic luster, known for its distinctive crystal structure and sulfurous odor when scratched or broken. This mineral is composed of iron, arsenic, and sulfur (FeAsS), making it the most common arsenic mineral and an important source of arsenic for various industrial uses. Arsenopyrite forms as prismatic or wedge-shaped crystals, often with striated surfaces, and can also occur in massive or granular forms.
It is commonly found in hydrothermal veins, often associated with other sulfide minerals such as pyrite, chalcopyrite, and galena, as well as with quartz and other gangue minerals. Arsenopyrite’s metallic sheen and heavy weight make it a visually appealing specimen for collectors.
