Phoenicochroite, also known as melanochroite, is a lead chromate mineral with formula Pb2OCrO4. It forms striking orange red crystals. It was first discovered in 1839 in Beryozovskoye deposit, Urals, Russia.[2] It is named from the Greek word φοίυικος for "deep red" and χρόα for "color", in allusion to its color.[2]
