Large cabinet specimen with good dull grey cubo-octahedral crystals to 1cm, but averaging about 6-7mm. It's a nice specimen of Galena in a large pocket in which all the crystals have been well preserved. There is also minor black to dark red Sphalerite.
Galena is the most common and widespread ore of Lead with 86.6% Pb. Lead is soft, heavy and malleable. Large quantities were mined from Mississippi Valley deposits, such as the Tri-State mines. About 66% of lead is used lead-acid storage batteries. Lead and its compounds are cumulative poisons.
