Arsenite minerals are very rare oxygen-bearing arsenic minerals. Classical world localities where such minerals occur include the complex skarn manganese deposit at Långban (Sweden) and the polymetallic Tsumeb deposit (Namibia). The most often reported arsenite anion in minerals is the anion, present for example in reinerite Zn3(AsO3)2. Unique diarsenite anions occur in leiteite Zn[As2O4] and paulmooreite Pb[As2O5]. More complex arsenites include schneiderhöhnite FeIIFe[As5O13] and ludlockite PbFeAs10O22.MindatHandbook of MineralogyWebmineral

Nickel–Strunz classification -04- oxides IMA-CNMNC proposes a new hierarchical scheme (Mills et al., 2009). This list uses it to modify the Classification of Nickel–Strunz (mindat.org, 10 ed, pending publication).
