Laurionite is an orthorhombic lead chloride hydroxide mineral, PbCl(OH). Its synthetic analogue has been recognised as the ‘lead white’ used in Iranian (III millennium BC) [1] Egyptian cosmetics and later on as a pigment in 13th-to-15th century Japanese paintings, in association with blixite, another lead chloride hydroxide mineral [2]. Alternatively, it has been identified as corrosion product on lead artworks. The most common lead white corresponds to the basic lead carbonate, i.e. the mineral hydrocerussite, both in the oriental and occidental artistic production. Other lead white pigments, such as lead chloride and sulphate, are thought to have been manufactured since the 19th century in Europe [3]. However, more ancient recipes are kno...
