Wastes from lead-rich mineral deposits typically form anglesite in sulfate-dominant environments, but in limestone-dominated host rocks and in gangue containing abundant carbonates, both cerussite [PbCOs] and hydrocerussite [Pb3(-003)2(01-1)2] have been reported as secondary minerals in mining-related wastes. Several carbonate and hydroxycarbonate minerals of copper and zinc were reported by Hudson-Edwards et al. (1996) as secondary products in stream sediments in the Tyne Basin, England. 

Cerussite (PbCOs) is also naturally abundant and crystallizes in an orthorhombic form isomorphous with strontianite (SrCOs) and aragonite (CaCOs). PbCOs is often found with galena in ore veins because it forms when carbonate-rich waters interact with PbS in the common lead-zinc-limestone ore association (47). The derivative PbCOs Pb(OH)2, known as cemse or white lead , was the most important artificial white pigment in antiquity (3). Ceruse is made by treating naturally occurring lead compounds [mixtures of PbCOs, PbO, and...
