1. Arsenite is a group of minerals that have oxygen and arsenic like realgar & orpiment.
2. Arsenolite is a super-soft mineral that makes ridiculously tiny octahedrals.
3. Asagiite (with a double-i) is a rare lil weirdo of a mineral named for its teal-blue colour.

Or you could contemplate why of the four discussed minerals, only #Arsenolite has never competed in #MinCup. Kinda feel like it should be nominated…

Yes, heating it, mixing it with acids etc. is a very stupid idea.... Arsenolite (white arsenic) is super dangerous, the remaining common As minerals are mostly ok.

There was white arsenolite, an inorganic compound undocumented in South Asian art, and brown barium ferrite, with no recorded use as a pigment in any culture.
