It has perfect to good cleavage in two directions and a quite high specific gravity of 6.83 due to the lead content. It is translucent to transparent with refractive indices of nα=2.120 nβ=2.320 nγ=2.320.[2]
It was first reported in 1971 from the Casucha Mine, Sierra Gorda, Antofagasta Region, Chile.[2]
