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.
