About Native LeadHide

Formula:

Colour:

Grey, but often coated with white hydrocerussite or related phases

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

1½

Specific Gravity:

11.37

Crystal System:

Isometric

Member of:

Nickel Group

Name:

Named plumbum nigrum by Pliny the Elder, but the name was for the chemical element and not a mineral. Native lead was probably first discovered in the Långban District in the late nineteenth century and was named for the chemical element.

Native lead is rare; lead is far more commonly found and mined as the lead sulphide mineral galena. The Romans named the refined metal 'plumbum' and used it for pipes in plumbing. Its major use today is in lead-acid batteries and for radiation shields. It is also a constituent of low-melting alloys. Native lead is somewhat ductile and very malleable.
