Galena is a lead sulfide mineral and is the world's primary ore of lead and is mined from a large number of deposits in many countries. It is found in igneous and metamorphic rocks in medium- to low-temperature hydrothermal veins. It has a distinct silver color and a bright metallic luster. Galena tarnishes to a dull gray. Because lead is a primary element in galena, the mineral has a high specific gravity that is immediately noticed when picking up even small pieces.

Chemical Formula: PbS

Hardness: 2.5-2.75
