Galena | Common Minerals

Galena is the most abundant lead mineral, has been mined for millennia, and remains our major source of that metal. It is a metallic, lead-gray mineral with cubic cleavage and a distinctly high density that makes galena samples feel much 'heavier' than expected for their size. Because it melts at a relatively low temperature and is so ...
