Scope note
A mineral consisting of lead chromate that occurs in the oxidized zone of lead mineral veins. It is compositionally identical to the pigment chrome yellow but only secondarily related. The element chromium was found in this rare secondary mineral in 1787 and became the basis for the pigment which was subsequently produced synthetically.
