Description

Arsenic sulfide naturally occurs in yellow (Orpiment or Arsenic trisulfide: As2S3) and orange (Realgar or Arsenic disulfide: As2S2) forms and are often found in the same deposits. It was once widely used as a pigment because of its bright rich color. Its extreme toxicity, however, has limited its use and availability.

Synonyms and Related Terms
