AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pyromorphite is a mineral belonging to the apatite group and composed of lead chlorophosphate: Pb5(PO4)3Cl, which is sometimes found in concentrations high enough to allow its extraction as a lead ore. Pyromorphite is part of a series with Mimetite (Pb5(AsO4)3Cl) and Vanadinite (Pb5(VO4)3Cl), and the similarity of the external characteristics among these three minerals is such that they are usually distinguishable only by chemical analysis.
