caption_attribution_description: English: Arsenolite (Size: 6.0 x 4.3 x 2.9 cm) Locality: White Caps Mine, Manhattan, Manhattan District, Nye County, Nevada, USA (Locality at mindat.org) Arsenolite is an uncommon arsenic oxide, formed as an oxidation product of arsenic-bearing sulphides in hydrothermal veins. Highly lustrous and translucent, yellow-green and colorless octahedrons are festooned on the sulfide matrix on this very rich and showy piece from the famous White Caps Mine at Manhattan, Nevada. The White Caps produced the finest USA stibnites. Old-time, very high quality and rich material. Ex. Howard Belsky Collection. Deutsch: Arsenolith (Größe: 6,0 x 4,3 x 2,9 cm) Fundort: White Caps Mine, Manhattan, Manhattan-Projekt, Nye County, Nevada, Vereinigte Staaten (Fundort bei mindat.org) Arsenolith ist ein seltenes Arsenoxid, das sich als Oxidationsprodukt arsenhaltiger Sulfide in Hydrothermaladern bildet. Stark glänzende, gelbgrüne und farblose Arsenolith-Oktaeder, aufgewachsen auf einer Sulfidmatrix.
context_page_description: Arsenolite is an arsenic mineral, chemical formula As₄O₆. It is formed as an oxidation product of arsenic sulfides. Commonly found as small octahedra it is white, but impurities of realgar or orpiment may give it a pink or yellow hue. It can be associated with its dimorph claudetite as well as realgar, orpiment and erythrite, Co₃(AsO₄)₂·8H₂O.
  Arsenolite belongs to the minerals which are highly toxic.
