False Iridium finds

[Golddigger76]

With all of this being said, is there a simple way to test for arsenic either in the field or at your home/ laboratory that would confirm arsenic ?
I'm a rock guy too but most of my rocks are either ore that I have collected from mines or specimens that I have purchased.
Just asking because I have some rocks from Colorado that I suspect are arsenic pyrite.

Take a look at the tests in Quick Qualitative Testing of Rocks and Ore.

Arsenopyrite, if scratched or smeared on something has very distinct smell. Not recommending it as analytical procedure of course
Dave gave you very good advice on how to proceed.
