Formula:
Pb3(CO3)2(OH)2
Colour:
White or grey; colourless in transmitted light
Lustre:
Adamantine, Pearly
Hardness:
3½
Specific Gravity:
6.8
Crystal System:
Trigonal
Name:
In allusion to the composition, being a HYDRated lead carbonate, similar to cerussite.
Hydrocerussite is a secondary mineral usually found in oxidized lead ore deposits. It it less common than cerussite (anhydrous lead carbonate). Also reported as a mycobiont of the Stereocaulon vesuvianum lichen found in a ruined Pb-smelting mill (vide Burford et al., 2003).

A closely related mineral is Plumbonacrite.
Visually very similar to Unnamed (Hydrocerussite- and Plumbonacrite-related phase) (a slag phase).
