Natural earth medicine. Minium (Lead tetraoxide, Pb₃O₄) is 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. See also mtshal dkar, which is identified with Cinnabar as well as Litharge. dGa' ba'i rDo rje gives Lithargyrum, accompanied by a photo of light yellow, flat, broken pieces for mtshal dkar. Lithargyrum is defined as 'Crystallized litharge, obtained by fusion in the form of fine yellow scales'.
Litharge, PbO, is another red lead oxide. It is found naturally and is extracted 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.
