Natural earth medicine. One of the oldest artificial pigments (obtained through calcination of white lead or ceruse, PbCO3) in order to imitate cinnabar. Occurs naturally as a rare secondary alteration mineral. At the roman time the name minium was given to cinnabar (mercury sulfide, adulterated with red lead), later on in the Middle Age to ceruse, and finally to red lead. Thence the frequent confusion with minium between cinnabar, vermillion (artificial cinnabar), red lead and litharge. Litharge, PbO, is another red lead oxide. It is found naturally and extracted e.g. in modern mines in Tibet, but is known since the antiquity as a by-product of the separation of lead and silver by fire metallurgy. Another natural lead oxide is Massicot, PbO, a yellow dimorph of litharge (see gser zil). It appears as alteration product of lead minerals. (mindat.org, wikipedia)
