Lollingite has been found at Huanggang in small amounts, and was frequently confused with and sold as arsenopyrite. In Tucson this year, a small quantity of correctly identified specimens were available
This piece combines lollingite with clear fluorite, making for a specimen that is more visually appealing than one consisting solely of lollingite....
Lollingite is a rare iron arsenide, typically found as masses and only rarely as proper crystals. This is a very good crystalline example of the species.
