Arsenopyrite: This mineral is
the main ore of arsenic. The crystals have a metallic luster, and when
heated or struck, they give off a smell of garlic. |
Historically, arsenic is
well known for its use as a poison. Because it is a metallic poison, it can not
be destroyed, even by fire. Acute poisoning cause burning pain in the digestive
tract, with vomiting, convulsions, and even death. Medicinally, arsenic was once
used to treat syphilis. The Homeopathic remedy, made from a compound of arsenic,
acts on the mucous membranes of the digestive tract and respiratory system.
