Index of occurence in Slovakia:

    1. EXCEPTIONAL      1 - 2 localities
   2. RARE    
                  3 - 6 localities
   3. INFREQUENT
         7 - 15 localities
   4. ABUDANT            
  15 - 50 localities
   5. MORE ABUDANT
  > 50 localities

Identification rating of mineral in Slovakia:

 1. WELL IDENTIFIED - mostly combination at least 2 most distinguished analytical methods (X -ray diffraction and electron microprobe)

2. PARTIALLY-INDENTIFIED - mineral mostly analyzed, but for well identification is need to make another analyses

3. UNDERIDENTIFIED - mineral mostly identified only visual, often very problematic or fictive

Massicot         PbO         orth.
Index of occurence in Slovakia: 1                                             Identification rating of mineral in Slovakia: 3
Type locality: Binsfeldhammer lead smelter, Stolberg, Aachen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany (Huot, 1841)
Oldest description from Slovakia area: Jelšava (Zipser, 1817)
Localities in Slovak Republic (2) and identification rating (in parenthesis): Dúbrava (3), Jelšava – Dúbrava (3)
Size: macroscopic
Largest crystal from Slovakia area: crustal
Photo is not available
 

Notes: Considering historic, only visual description, especially for Dúbrava in Nízke Tatry Mts.mineral known as massicot is probably other supergene mineral. Massicot has not been from Slovakia area plausibly described.
