Scorodite is pale green, grayish green, or grayish brown in color. It has a hardness of 3.5—4 on the Mohs’ scale, and its density ranges from 3,100 to 3,300 kg/m3. Scorodite is a mineral from the oxidation zone of deposits containing arsenical pyrites (for example, arsenopyrite) or loellingite. Together with these minerals, it serves as raw material for the extraction of arsenic. In the USSR, scorodite deposits are found in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Transbaikalia, and the Urals; it is also found in the German Democratic Republic (Saxony), the USA, and Brazil. |
