An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/mN1SPtSK6DqXcZx381QGPQ==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The crystal habit, hardness, density, and garlic odour when struck are diagnostic. Arsenopyrite in older literature may be referred to as mispickel, a name of German origin. Arsenopyrite also can be associated with significant amounts of gold. Consequently it serves as an indicator of gold bearing reefs. Many arsenopyrite gold ores are refractory, i.e. the gold is not easily liberated from the mineral matrix. Arsenopyrite is found in high temperature hydrothermal veins, in pegmatites, and in areas of contact metamorphism or metasomatism.

  • Arsenopyrite is an Iron Arsenic Sulfide Mineral, and is usually found as a dark or light grey. One thing that is interesting about arsenopyrite is that when you crack or break it open, it has a garlic type of odor, and it can grow with many valuable ores like iron ore and gold ore.
