Arsenic is quite possibly the most commonly known poison. IT has been used not only in real murders, but also in several fictional pieces.
Arsenic is rarely found pure. It is usally contained with in it's sulfides and sulfosalts, such as orpiment, tennanite, lollingite, realgar, and arsenopyrite.
Surprizingly, this element smells of garlic. It is usually a white-ish color, but tarnishes very easily.
Symptoms of arsenic poisoning are one's throat constricting, vomitin, diarrhea, dehydration, liver failure, and the most obvious- death.
