Piemontite-(Pb)
Piemontite-(Pb) is a rare inosilicate mineral with the chemical formula calcium lead aluminum manganese(3+) disilicate hydroxide. It belongs to the monoclinic crystal system and is characterized by its complex structure, which includes both inosilicate and hydroxide components. This mineral typically exhibits a vitreous luster and may display a range of colors, often influenced by trace elements. Its hardness and density are not specified, but as a silicate containing heavy elements like lead, it is likely to have a relatively high specific gravity. Piemontite-(Pb) is part of the broader group of inosilicates, which are defined by single chains of silica tetrahedra.
