Phosgenite

Phosgenite is a rare mineral consisting of lead chlorocarbonate, 2CO3.

Sometimes the crystals have a curious helical twist about the tetrad or principal axis. The hardness is 3 and the specific gravity 6.3. The mineral is rather sectile, and consequently was earlier known as corneous lead.
