Information about crystals/mineral specimens from this location
This is an excellent specimen of LÖLLINGITE (a rare species related to arsenopyrite) from the Parker Mountain Mine in Center Strafford, New Hampshire. I collected this piece myself on a mining trip in 2008 to this pegmatite, best known for the rare fluorescent mineral eucryptite.
Mineralogy
Facts about gems, rocks and minerals
Lollingite is an uncommon mineral, but is found with other arsenides and thus it is included with them when mined for arsenic. It is often associated with arsenopyrite, FeAsS, and this is unfortunate as it is difficult to distinguish between the two. Their crystal forms, color, luster, streak and fracture are all very similar. Lollingite is at least somewhat softer and denser. Lollingite\'s composition is never exactly FeAs2, because it usually contains significant percentages of cobalt and nickel and sometimes sulfur. It forms a series with safflorite and can also contain considerable amounts of nickel.
Lollingite gives its name to a group of minerals of which the mineral lollingite is one of the more common members. Members of the Lollingite Group have a simple formula, namely: AX2. Where the metal ion, A, is either cobalt, nickel and/or iron and the X can be either arsenic and/or antimony with some members having some sulfur. All members of the group have lollingite\'s basic structure. They are all orthorhombic in symmetry and are very uncommon to rare in occurrence. Some classification schemes place Lollingite Group members in the Marcasite Group.
