Engineers Where do I find arsenic?

I searched in 4 different worlds, an ice one, two high metal content with pristine reserves and a high metal content with volcanism and major reserves, it took me up about 2-3 hours. Nothing, and it's supposed to be a common resource.

So, where do I find As? I'm tired of wandering aimlessly on planets shooting at rocks honestly

I found this table that contains known locations for certain materials people found out: http://ayashi.net/elite/edh-planetmats.html . You'll have to work out a location closest to you manually.
I'm currently in the Marditj system on the hunt for selenium and yttrium. While I have found neither yet (groan), I did run across 4 units of arsenic on C 2 planet, so the table seems legit in specifying what stuff can be found where.

I found arsenic on Deciat 1 at the rate of about one an hour. Shoot the designated rocks that you find with your scanner thing.

Just got Arsenic on Deciat 1 in Bronzite Chondrite.

Happy hunting. Ohh, and sometimes changing your instance helps.

Out mining yesterday, i was surprised at the number and variety of mats i received while mining unrelated rocks, they just kept on appearing out of seemingly no where. Niobium, sulphur, ect. and lots of others.

Found it thanks to Rudolphus' chart. After what seemed to be an eternity I found 1 unit of arsenic.

I hope your fsd boost is worth it, Farseer.

Yup, found 2 arsenic in the space of 20 minutes! TY for the head's up.

Everyone else: be careful with the landing. Its a 1.21G planet. Descend slowly or risk popping your ship!

I noticed this as well when mining in an ice belt (ice mining so not worth it though, just saying). However, I found the constant material addition to be an annoyance more than useful as you primarily get sulphur and some other extremely common elements. What it ends up doing though is filling up the 600 cargocapacity you have for storing elements and materials.

Bottom line : mining is forcing me to jettison elements :p

I found quite a bit on Junga 5 today while I was looking for Yttrium (I found 2 of those also, in about 3 hours).

Deciat 4 has Arsenic, same system as Felicia Farseer. Found 4 in about 1.5 hours (then nothing for another hour). 1.6g world though, watch the bumps.
