About PlumbogummiteHide

Formula:
PbAl3(PO4)(PO3OH)(OH)6
Colour:
Light blue, gray-white, yellow-gray, yellow, yellow-brown, red-brown, greenish, bluish, dark blue-gray
Lustre:
Resinous, Dull
Hardness:
4 - 5
Specific Gravity:
4.014
Crystal System:
Trigonal
Name:
Named in 1819 by François Pierre Nicolas Gillet de Laumont from the Latin "plumbum" for lead, and "gummi" for gum, in allusion to its lead content and appearance at times as drops or coatings of gum.
The lead analogue of crandallite and goyazite, and the phosphate analogue of philipsbornite.
Compare also the chemically similar hinsdalite with which it forms a complete solid-solution series.

A relatively common secondary lead aluminium phosphate mineral.

Optical Data of PlumbogummiteHide

Type:
Uniaxial (+)
RI values:
nω = 1.653 - 1.688 nε = 1.675 - 1.704
Birefringence:
0.024
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.000 - 0.035
Based on recorded range of RI values above.

Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.

Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 µm thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.

Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars.

Surface Relief:
Moderate
Optical Extinction:
Parallel
Comments:
May be biaxial

Fluorescence of PlumbogummiteHide

May fluoresce in medium-wave UV light.
Usually not fluorescent in short- and long-wave UV light, although a weak bluish fluorescence was observed for some samles in long-wave UV light.

Other InformationHide

Notes:
Soluble in hot acids.

May be pseudomorphic after Pyromorphite (common) or baryte.
Health Risks:
Contains lead. Always wash hands after handling. Do not lick or ingest dust generated while trimming.
