lead is not a rock but the rock 'Galena' is and it is a sedimentary rock.
It called a tor. I too was doing the newspaper crossword!
That sounds like a sea stack. Sea stacks are tall, vertical columns of rock that form when a section of a headland is eroded by the sea, leaving a solitary pillar. They are typically found near coastlines and are a result of the continuous erosion of the surrounding rock.
It sounds like you are describing a sea stack, which is a geological landform formed by the erosion of a headland or cliff by the sea, leaving a tall, isolated rock pillar near the coastline. Sea stacks are typically composed of resistant rock material that withstands the erosive forces of the ocean.
Slate rock does not typically contain lead. It is mainly composed of minerals like clay and quartz. However, it is always recommended to test any specific sample of slate rock for lead content to be sure.
An isolated hill with steep sides is known as a butte. It is a narrow, flat-topped hill with steep, vertical sides formed by erosion of softer rock layers surrounding harder rock layers. Buttes are common in arid regions where erosion has sculpted the landscape over time.

Lead is primarily isolated from the minerals galena (lead sulfide), cerussite (lead carbonate), and anglesite (lead sulfate). These minerals are commonly found in association with other metals such as zinc and silver.

Lead sulphite? Are you sure you don't mean lead sulphide or lead sulphate?
Please somebody answer, i need to know also! :(

Gold and silver are typically isolated from ores such as quartz, pyrite, and chalcopyrite, which are commonly found in rocks like granite, schist, and quartzite. These ores contain the precious metals in mineral formations that can be extracted through mining and processing techniques.
Ayers Rock is Australia's most famous inselberg, or single, isolated mountain of solid rock.
Galena, lead sulfide, is a mineral, not a rock.
