Anglesite is a mineral consisting of lead sulfate and is found in lead ores. It has a dull luster and can sometimes have a yellowish-white or gray color. Some synonyms for anglesite include lead sulfate, cerusite sulfur, lead(ii) sulfate, and galena sulfate. These terms are often used interchangeably in geological studies and mineralogy. Anglesite can also be mistaken for cerussite, which is a lead carbonate mineral with similar physical properties. Regardless of its name, anglesite is highly toxic due to its lead content and should be handled and disposed of with caution.
