Short summary
This paper describes the new mineral plumbogottlobite from the Glücksstern mine, Gottlob Hill, Friedrichroda, Gotha District, Thuringia, Germany. It occurs as thick, square, orange-brown, tabular crystals up to about 0.2 mm in diameter. The mineral is the lead (Pb) analogue of the mineral gottlobite, which occurs at the same locality and is identical in appearance. Plumbogottlobite is a late-stage, low-temperature hydrothermal mineral occurring on baryte and hausmannite.
