Sarkinite synonymous with chondrarsenite and polyarsenite is a mineral with formula Mn2(AsO4)(OH). The mineral is named for the Greek word σάρκιυος meaning made of flesh for its red color and greasy luster. The mineral was first noted in Sweden in 1865 as chondrarsenite though not identified as Sarkinite until 1885.
