Its name derives from its high vanadium content, although in some places it is known as \"brown lead.\" It is almost always found in the oxidation zone of lead deposits in arid climates.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first person to discover it in 1830 in Zimapán, Mexico, was Professor A.M. del Rio, a professor at the School of Mines of Mexico, who called it \"brown lead.\" Later that same year, the Swedish chemist Nils Gabriel Sefström renamed it vanadinite.

Its density is 6.4 to 6.6 g\/cm³. It contains 83.5% lead oxide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In ancient times, the Egyptians used cerussite, which they synthesized themselves, as eye makeup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Origin: Morocco\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rocas\u0026Cristales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52535888707884,"sku":"PVANACERU554520","price":201895.0,"currency_code":"ARS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/9009\/0028\/files\/vanadinita-en-cerusita-minerales-de-coleccion-6579287.jpg?v=1775148730","url":"https:\/\/rocasycristales.com\/en\/products\/vanadinita-en-cerusita","provider":"Rocas\u0026Cristales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
