Bright golden-yellow streak color of orpiment Orpiment and Realgar on the same rock. Orpiment is a type of lemon-yellow to golden-or brownish-yellow crystal commonly found in foliated columnar or fibrous aggregates, may alternatively be botryoidal or reniform, granular or powdery, and, rarely, as prismatic crystals.

Mineral symbols (text abbreviations) are used to abbreviate mineral groups, subgroups, and species, just as lettered symbols are used for the chemical elements. The first set of commonly used mineral symbols was published in 1983 and covered the common rock-forming minerals using 192 two- or three-lettered symbols. [ 1 ]
Red Getchellite and yellow Orpiment from the Getchell Mine, the type locality.. Getchellite is a rare sulfide of arsenic and antimony, AsSbS 3, that was discovered by B. G. Weissberg of the New Zealand Department of Scientific and Industrial Research in 1963, and approved as a new species by the International Mineralogical Association in 1965.
A yellow pigment for glass and porcelain. Gypsum – a mineral; calcium sulfate. CaSO 4; Horn silver/argentum cornu – a weathered form of chlorargyrite, an ore of silver chloride. Luna cornea – silver chloride, formed by heating horn silver till it liquefies and then cooling. King's yellow – formed by mixing orpiment with white arsenic.
Arsenic trisulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula As 2 S 3.It is a dark yellow solid that is insoluble in water. It also occurs as the mineral orpiment (Latin: auripigmentum), which has been used as a pigment called King's yellow.

Michel-Lévy interference colour chart issued by Zeiss Microscopy. In optical mineralogy, an interference colour chart, also known as the Michel-Levy chart, is a tool first developed by Auguste Michel-Lévy to identify minerals in thin section using a petrographic microscope.
It is a soft, sectile mineral occurring in monoclinic crystals, or in granular, compact, or powdery form, often in association with the related mineral, orpiment (As 2 S 3). It is orange-red in color, melts at 320 °C, and burns with a bluish flame releasing fumes of arsenic and sulfur.
