Nasledovite
Nasledovite is a rare hydrated lead manganese aluminum carbonate sulfate mineral with the chemical formula PbMn3Al4(CO3)4(SO4)O5 * 5H2O. It belongs to the Strunz classification 5.DB.05, indicating its position among the carbonate minerals. Nasledovite crystallizes in an unknown crystal system, as no specific system is provided. It is typically characterized by its soft, low hardness, and its low density due to the presence of water molecules in its structure. The mineral exhibits a dull to vitreous luster and may display a range of colors depending on impurities. As a complex hydrous carbonate, it is considered a secondary mineral, often forming in low-temperature environments.

How to recognize it
Nasledovite can be identified by its low hardness, which is typical of hydrous carbonate minerals, though the exact Mohs value is not specified. It may exhibit a white or pale-colored streak and is generally soft enough to be scratched with a copper coin. Its color and luster can vary, making it potentially confusing with other hydrous carbonates. However, its unique chemical composition and hydration state help distinguish it from similar species.
