Bindheimite

About

A secondary mineral occurring in the oxidized zones of antimony-bearing lead deposits, a frequent oxidation product of lead antimony sulphosalts.

Bindheimite is an inadequately described mineral, due to the more recently described oxyplumboroméite; further studies of individual occurrences are required to determine this with certainty.

Therefore currently has a questionable status.
