Extract

This mineral, which until now has been regarded as a hydrated arsenate of iron, was mentioned as far back as 1790 by Proust and also by other mineralogists about the same time. In 1801 Chenevix (Phil. Trans. 1801, 220) gave an analysis of an arsenate of iron, but it differs very much in composition from pharmacosiderite in that it contained 9 per cent. of copper. Probably it was not a pure specimen of this mineral. Vauquelin also published an analysis of an iron arsenate which was probably pharmacosiderite (Brongniart, Traité de Min., 1807, II. 182), since he describes it as crystallising in cubes.
