    Löllingite is an iron arsenide mineral that forms in orthorhombic crystals, often with prismatic or pyramidal habits. It has a metallic gray to silver-white color and strong anisotropism. Löllingite occurs in mesothermal deposits associated with other sulfides and calcite gangue, as well as in pegmatites. It is commonly found with minerals like skutterudite, bismuth, nickeline, and siderite. Löllingite was named after its type locality in Lölling, Austria and forms a solid solution series with the mineral safflorite.
