Crocoite is a unique mineral recognized as a lead chromate (PbCrO₄). Its striking orange-red hue and remarkable crystal structures, typically found in prismatic shapes or granular forms, make it particularly notable. As a member of the chromate mineral group, crocoite attracts collectors due to its vivid coloration and distinct look. With a Mohs hardness rating of 2.5 to 3, it is considered relatively soft and delicate. Most of the specimen are mined in the Red Lead Mine, Dundas, Tasmania.
