[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 344790, member: 487"] The smell from arsenopyrite is pretty unmistakable, I was sitting in my garage one day and found a piece stuck in my tyre tread after a prospecting trip, I pulled it out gave it a tap with a hammer just out of interest and the garlic odour was quite obvious. I think even if you scratch it with something it will release the odour. It's not exactly like garlic but it's an obvious weird garlic type odour. [/QUOTE]
