Extract

The crystalline form of orpiment was first determined by Mohs (Grundriss der Mineralogie (1824), 2, 613).

His measurements, which he is careful to state were only approximate, gave an angle of 79°20' for the prism, and 83°7' for the brachydome; the plane of perfect cleavage being taken as the macropinakoid, and the crystals being referred to the orthorhombic system.
