"ARSENSULFIDGLAS"
Under this name was described in 1988 an amorphous
yellowish liquid inclusion with a maximum size of 0.1 mm found within the quartz
crystals. At first it was thought it was sulfur, but it was later discovered
that it was a sulphide of arsenic. Although Lengenbach is the first known locality
for this mineral, the International Mineralogical Association (IMA) has not recognized
it as such.
