Pyromorphite is a mineral species composed of lead chlorophosphate: Pb5(PO4)3Cl sometimes occurring in sufficient abundance to be mined as an ore of lead. Crystals are common and have the form of a hexagonal prism terminated by the basal planes sometimes combined with narrow faces of a hexagonal pyramid. Crystals with a barrel-like curvature are not uncommon. Globular and reniform masses are also found.
