A rare mineral composed of lead tellurium oxide, found in oxidized ore deposits.
Named after Hamrong, a locality in Sweden where the mineral was first discovered, plus the mineralogical suffix -ite indicating it is a distinct mineral species.
This mineral is so rare that most geologists will never see a sample in person—it represents how scientists name discoveries after obscure places where nature reveals its hidden treasures.
