Stolzite is a mineral, Lead tungstate; formula PbWO₄. It is similar to, and often associated with, Wulfenite which is the same chemical except that the tungsten is replaced by molybdenum. Lead tungstate crystals have the optical transparency of glass combined with much higher density (8.28 g/cm³ vs ~2.2 g/cm³ for fused silica).

Discovered in 1845 it is named after Joseph Alexi Stolz of Teplice in Bohemia.
