Mandala #33 — As: Arsénico (Arsenic)
Element 33 · As · Arsénico
Toxic yellow-ochre and gray metallic
The poison of history — gray metallic or yellow amorphous, used in victorian wallpaper dyes and murder mysteries.
Arsenic trioxide was 'inheritance powder' — the undetectable poison of medieval assassins. Victorian green wallpaper dyed with arsenic-based pigments killed occupants slowly. Paradoxically, arsenic compounds treat certain leukemias. Gray arsenic is used in semiconductor alloys.
