AUSTINITE SPECIMENS

Austinite forms in oxidized arsenic-rich metal deposits and is often associated with adamite, limonite, talmessite, and quartz. It is most often greenish, though it has also been known to occur in yellow, brown, white and yellow-white aggregations. Austinite has been collected from the United States, Mexico, Australia, Bolivia, Namibia, and several other locations.

Austinite was named after Austin Flint Rodgers, an American mineralogist at Stanford University.
