Lead metagermanate forms crystals upon slow cooling from a temperature of 800 ° C to 650 ° C. With rapid cooling from 1000 ° C, an amorphous mass forms.

Lead germanates of a different composition were obtained: Pb ₃ GeO ₅ (temp. Pl. 738 ° C), Pb ₅ Ge ₃ O ₁₁ (temp. Pl. 738 ° C).

Crystalline lead germanates are not soluble in dilute sulfuric acid, in contrast to the amorphous state.
