About Unnamed (Pb Silicate) ?
Formula:
Pb, Si, O, H (?)
Colour:
Colourless to white
Groups of lath-like micro crystals, visualy simular to steverustite.
There is a belief that this mineral may in fact be steverustite.
The original specimen could not be located after the death of the person who did the element analysis, and this may have been faulty. All subsequent specimens tested have turned out to be steverustite. (Steve Rust 15.11.2010).
Although the original specimen submitted for the steverustite paper did have a Pb silicate on it, the crystals were far to small to do any descriptive work. So the Unnamed (Pb Silicate)? is likely to remain in limbo.
