Arsenite mineral
Arsenite minerals are very rare oxygen-bearing arsenic minerals. Classical world localities where such minerals occur include the complex skarn manganese deposit at Långban and the polymetallic Tsumeb deposit. The most often reported arsenite anion in minerals is the AsO33− anion, present for example in reinerite Zn32. Unique diarsenite anions occur i. e. in leiteite Zn and paulmooreite Pb. More complex arsenites include schneiderhöhnite Fe2+Fe3+3 and ludlockite PbFe3+4As10O22.-CNMNC proposes a new hierarchical scheme. This list uses it to modify the Classification of Nickel–Strunz.
