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.

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.
Used in its pure form, without additional definition, as a rule, it meant orpiment or, more generally, arsenic sulfide in the form of a mineral. However, more often in the texts there was still a color clarification that made it possible to avoid confusion: red arsenic blende was called realgar, and yellow arsenic blende was called orpiment.

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.

Arsenopyrite crystal from the Yaogangxian Mine, Hunan, China (size: 2.7 x 2.0 x 1.7 cm) Arsenopyrite crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system and often shows prismatic crystal or columnar forms with striations and twinning common. Arsenopyrite may be referred to in older references as orthorhombic, but it has been shown to be monoclinic ...
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.
