Summary

Some structural analogies found in tsumebite, vauquelinite, fornacite, and brackebuschite make it possible to place these secondary lead minerals in the same series with general formula Pb2MeII(Z)(XO4)(YO4), where MeII is a bivalent cation as Cu2+ or Mn2+, Z is the hydroxyl group or the water molecule, X is S, Cr, or V, and Y is P, As, or V. Some crystallochemical considerations are developed in order to explain how the replacement of these elements affects the crystal structure in these substances.
