Pyrite is a LOT harder--it is 6 on Mohs Hardness Scale and Galena is only 2.5.
Pyrite is usually gold or brassy in color. Galena is lead gray.
Galena is a mineral.
Galena is considered a non-silicate.
Galena belongs to the sulfide mineral class. In its chemical composition, galena is primarily made up of lead sulfide (PbS).
Galena is a lead sulfide - PbS.
Yes. Galena is lead sulfide.
You can tell the difference in density between quartz and galena by measuring their mass and volume. Calculate the density by dividing the mass by the volume. Galena has a higher density than quartz, so the sample with higher density is likely to be galena.
Quartz would be able to scratch fluorite, galena, and pyroxene as it is harder than these minerals on the Mohs scale of hardness.
Quartz- hardness 7 on Mohs Scale. (Calcite: 3, galena 2.5, talc 1)

All fairly pure quartz has piezonelectric properties.
well if you mean spell cus i can't really tell you how to pronouce it, in french quartz is quartz
Silicon is something that has a shiny luster even though it is naturally quite brittle. Other things with a shiny luster include mineral quartz, metallic hematite, and galena.

Galena is steel grey.
In varying degrees the minerals can include kaolinite, pyrite, marcasite, quartz, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, and the element carbon.
