The discovery of galena, lead sulfide, dates back into antiquity. Nobody knows exactly when, centuries ago, it was first discovered. The name comes from the Latin for lead ore , or dross from melted lead.
Galena is a mineral, not a rock, but is commonly found emplaced in sedimentary rock from hydrothermal deposition in faults and fissures.
Galena is a mineral.
Galena is the main lead bearing mineral.
The galena mineral is commonly found in hydrothermal ore deposits worldwide. It is a lead sulfide mineral often associated with other ores like sphalerite and chalcopyrite. It can also be found as a weathering product in oxidized zones of lead deposits.
Galena is the principal ore of lead. It is a sulfide mineral that is commonly found in deposits around the world.

Galena not a rock its a Economic mineral of lead. Formula of Galena is PbS. Galena and Sphalerite(ZnS) Found togather at Hydrothemal deposits.

Galena is metallic.
Galena is a mineral, lead suphide (PbS), and as such, it is in the group of sulfide minerals. Links can be found below to check facts and learn more.
No, galena is not a mineral oxide. It is a sulfide mineral composed of lead and sulfur. Oxides are minerals that are composed of oxygen combined with a metal or other element.
Galena is in the sulfide group of minerals.
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.
