Lollingite is alternatively spelled Loellingite, it is an uncommon mineral.  Found with other arsenides and is included with them when mined for arsenic.  Often associated with Arsenopyrite FeAsS and difficult to distinguish between the two.  Their crystal form, color, luster, streak and fracture are similar.  Lollingite is softer and denser.  Lollingite composition is not exactly FeAs2, as it usually contains cobalt, nickel and sometimes sulfur
