Vanadinite
Lead
Chlorovanadate Vanadinite
is a lead mineral colored by vanadium, typically red like crocoite. It
has the same structure and crystal shape (sometimes) as Apatite. It is
a part of a series with two other minerals, they are pyromorphite (Pb5(VO4)3Cl)
and mimetite (Pb5(AsO4)3Cl). The
hexagonal crystals of the Vanadinite are usually prismatic but often
the crystals are skeletal or cavernous, which may be found in crusts.
It has uneven fracture and is brittle.
