No, Galena is a Sulfide
Galena is a mineral.
Galena mineral typically appears with a streak color that is gray to black.
Galena is a lead gray color. Galena is the natural mineral form of lead sulfide, and an important source of silver.
Galena is a mineral, not a rock, but is commonly found emplaced in sedimentary rock from hydrothermal deposition in faults and fissures.
No, we don't use galena is pencils. Galena is the primary ore of the metal lead, and this mineral, PbS, is recovered for that purpose. We also often recover silver as a byproduct of lead processing. It is graphite that is used in pencils, and the mineral graphite is an allotrope of carbon.
No, galena is not the common ore of iron. The common ore of iron is hematite, which is a mineral form of iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3). Galena is actually a mineral form of lead sulfide (PbS).
