No. Pitchblende is an ore of Uranium. It's been a long time since plutonium occured in nature.
Plutonium occur in deposits of uranium ores but only in ultratraces. In the nature plutonium appear as a result of spontaneous natural fission of uranium isotopes a process with a very low cross section.

The symbol of the element found in pitchblende after uranium extraction is thorium, with the chemical symbol Th. Thorium is a radioactive metal and is often found in association with uranium ores, including pitchblende.
Some plutonium compounds: Hydrides: Plutonium dihydride: PuH2, Plutonium trihydride: PuH3 Fluorides: Plutonium trifluoride: PuF3, Plutonium hexafluoride: PuF6, Plutonium tetrafluoride: PuF4 Chlorides: Plutonium trichloride: PuCl3 Bromides: Plutonium tribromide: PuBr3 Iodides: Plutonium triiodide: PuI3 Oxides: Plutonium oxide: PuO, Plutonium dioxide: PuO2, Diplutonium trioxide: Pu2O3 Sulfides: Plutonium sulphide: PuS, Plutonium disulphide: PuS2, Diplutonium trisulphide: Pu2S3 Selenide: Plutonium selenide: PuSe Nitrides: Plutonium nitride: PuN Carbides: PuC, Pu2C3 Borides: PuB2,Pu2B4, PuB6, PuB100 Nitrate : Plutonium (III) nitrate: Pu(NO3)3, Plutonium (IV) nitrate: Pu(NO3)4 And many others.
Only the official name - plutonium - is correct.
in ore of pitchblende
Pitchblende is uranium ore, so any nuclear weapon which used uranium in some form or other (tamper, core, used with plutonium, secondary casing) would need uranium, which is initially obtained from the mining and refining of pitchblende, for example, Little Boy.
Uraninite, AKA pitchblende, is an ore of uranium.
Pitchblende is a name for uraninite, a radioactive mineral from which uranium ore is extracted. The composition of pitchblende can include uranium oxide (UO2) and triuranium octoxide (U3O8), along with lead oxide and pockets of helium.Pitchblende is a radioactive, uranium-rich mineral and ore. It has a chemical composition that is largely UO2, but also contains UO3 and oxides of lead, thorium, and rare earth elements. It is known as pitchblende due to its black color and high density. It is also commonly referred to as Uraninite.
pitchblende was the first, but any good uranium ore will do as it is a daughter element of uranium's decay.
Pitchblende, carnotite, uraninite, phosphates, etc.
Radium was first discovered in an ore called pitchblende
Plutonium has no ores; plutonium exist naturally in extremely traces in uranium ores.
An important ore of uranium is called Pitchblende.

Radium is an element itself. It was isolated by Marie Curie from Pitchblende, an ore of Uranium.
