This article is a stub. It needs to be expanded.

An unusually hard lead mineral is plattnerite (PbO₂). Its crystal structure is the rutile structure. Just like it is the case with the corresponding minerals of leads group members (carbon excluded):

Plattnerite PbO₂ (Mohs 5.5; ~9.63g/ccm)
Cassierite SnO₂ (Mohs 6-7; ~7.1g/ccm)
Argutite GeO₂ (Mohs 6-7; ~6.28g/ccm)
Stishovite SiO₂ (Mohs 9-9.5; 4.287g/ccm)
