About Plumbomicrolite (of Hogarth 1977)Hide

Colour:
Canary-yellow
Hardness:
5
Name:
Safiannikoff & Van Wambeke (1961) described a lead-rich microlite from an alluvial Sn deposit in Kivu, Congo (Mumba cassiterite gravels) and named it (in French) as plombomicrolite. They did not, however, propose a formal name for a plumboan member of the microlite-pyrochlore family. Later Hey (1964) introduced the name plumbomicrolite, based upon its use in literature.
The plumbomicrolite of Safiannikoff & van Wambeke (1961), Beurlen et al. (2005) and Uher et al. (2008) is a zero valent dominant member of the microlite group. The plumbomicrolite of Bindi et al. (2006b) is, by crystal-structure refinement, kenoplumbomicrolite.
