Cleavage of galena is the tendency of the mineral to break along planes of weakness, resulting in smooth, flat surfaces. Galena exhibits perfect cleavage in three directions at right angles to each other, producing cubic or octahedral shapes. This property is a result of the crystal structure of galena.
lead is not a rock but the rock 'Galena' is and it is a sedimentary rock.
Galena is listed at 2.5 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
