Typical specimen of native arsenic in bacillary arsenic, from the Gabe Gottes mine at Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines (Haut-Rhin, Alsace, Vosges mountains).
The mine was first exploited in the 16th century to extract silver ores, and was revived in the 18th century, remaining sporadically active until the 20th century (May 1940).
A classic mineral species of the Vosges massif, thanks to this famous deposit, discovered in 1973.
