Galena, a primary ore of lead, is commonly found in the southwestern region of Arkansas, particularly in the Ozark Mountains. Notable locations include the historic mining districts of Jasper and the surrounding areas, where it is often associated with other minerals like sphalerite and pyrite. The mineral can also be found in some of the state’s older mining sites, reflecting Arkansas's rich mining history.
