Galena crystals are cubic or octahedral and are in the isometric (cubic) crystal system.
Galena has a metallic luster, which means it appears shiny and reflective like metal.
Breakage of galena refers to the process of breaking or fracturing the mineral galena, which is a lead sulfide ore. It can occur through mechanical forces, such as crushing, grinding, or impact. Breakage of galena is often a necessary step in extracting the lead metal from the ore through processes like flotation or smelting.
Galena is a mineral.
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.
Galena is considered a non-silicate.
Galena has a metallic luster, which means it appears shiny and reflective like metal.
Galena is lead sulfide, an important source of the metal lead. Storage batteries, like the one in your car, have lead plate and posts- so it is likely that part of your battery was MADE from galena.
