Arsenolite is an arsenic mineral chemical formula As2O3. It is formed as an oxidation product of arsenic sulfides. Commonly found as small octahedra it is white but impurities of realgar or orpiment may give it a pink or yellow hue. It can be associated with its dimorph claudetite (a monoclinic form of As2O3) as well as realgar (As4S4) orpiment (As2S3) and erythrite Co3(AsO4)2·8H2O.
