Orthorhombic
Safflorite, a cobalt arsenide mineral of the loellingite group, is an exceedingly rare mineral from Franklin and has not been reported from Sterling Hill. It was first described by Oen et al. (1984) as tiny 0.1 mm crystals at the outermost fringes of the rammelsbergite-safflorite ends of the nickeline dendrites, described in detail under nickeline. Crystals are prismatic, equant, and bright white in reflected light. An analysis is given in Table 18.
