Orpiment (yellow/orange) and realgar (red/orange) are naturally associated arsenic sulfide minerals, often found together in hydrothermal veins, where realgar can alter into orpiment, especially with light exposure. Both are colorful but toxic, used historically as pigments (gold paint/king's yellow for orpiment, ruby of arsenic for realgar) but are now mainly collected as specimens, requiring careful handling (wash hands) due to their arsenic content and tendency to release a garlic smell when heated.

Orpiment and realgar are arsenic sulfide minerals that often form together, originating in volcanic areas, hot springs, and hydrothermal veins, sometimes as a byproduct of decaying realgar, appearing as bright yellow (orpiment) and red (realgar) deposits with gold, silver, and lead ores. They are historically significant pigments, known for their vibrant colors but are highly toxic due to their arsenic content, handle carefully!!!
