Standard Detailed Strunz Dana Chemical ElementsDetailed Mineral List:
| β Arsenopyrite Formula: FeAsS Description: In a dark grey mixture with fine grained Scorodite close to gold and quartz inside a limonite nugget. (Phil Belley XRD) Reference: Rob Woodside Collection |
| β Gold Formula: Au Reference: Rob Woodside Collection |
| β 'Limonite' Formula: (Fe,O,OH,H2O) Reference: Rob Woodside Collection |
| β Quartz Formula: SiO2 Reference: Rob Woodside Collection |
| β Scorodite Formula: Fe3+AsO4 · 2H2O Description: In a dark grey mixture with fine grained Arsenopyrite close to gold and quartz inside a limonite nugget. The specimen was prepped by quenching after heating with a blow torch. Burning arsenopyrite could produce scorodite, however the sample analysed came from an unburnt bit.
