Rocks are composed of minerals. A mineral is a naturally occurring substance which is usually solid, crystalline, stable at room temperature and inorganic. There are almost 5000 known mineral species, yet the vast majority of rocks are formed from combinations of a few common minerals, referred to as "rock-forming minerals". The rock-forming minerals are: feldspars, quartz, amphiboles

Most rocks are composed of minerals. Minerals are defined by geologists as naturally occurring inorganic solids that have a crystalline structure and a distinct chemical composition. Of course, the minerals found in the Earth's rocks are produced by a variety of different arrangements of chemical elements.

Types of lead ore Lead ore is most commonly found as lead sulphide (PbS), galena, a heavy, shiny grey metallic ore with a conspicuous cubic cleavage, but locally pyromorphite, lead chlorophosphate (Pb 5 (PO 4) 3 Cl), was worked on Green Hill, near Charterhouse and on Blagdon Hill.

Galena is a common and popular mineral for rock hounds. Its characteristic cubes, distinctive cleavage and high density make it easy to identify and a favorite in high school geology labs. The structure of Galena is identical to that of halite, NaCl. The two minerals have the same crystal shapes, symmetry and cleavage. Some Galena may contain up to 1% silver in place of lead. The large volume

Galena From Denton Mine, Hardin Co., Illinois, United States. Photo: Dakota Matrix Minerals : Galena is one of the most abundant and widely distributed sulfide minerals. Galena is the principle ore of lead, and forms glistening silver cubes with almost unnaturally perfect shapes. Although lead is normally extremely flexible, the sulfur content of galena makes it extraordinarily brittle and

Galena & Pyrite – Brushy Creek Mine, Oates, Viburnum Trend District, Reynolds County, Missouri - 28.5 x 26 x 20 cm. - This specimen is a floater! A remarkable pocket was found in Stope 72B30 where almost every specimen was in a clay layer, so there aren't any points of attachment to matrix. The vast majority of the specimens were mainly galena with minor chalcopyrite, but a few had pyrite

Galena is found in hydrothermal ore veins associated with chalcopyrite and quartz. It is also found in metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. In the United States galena is found in the Mississippi Valley. Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin all have significant deposits.

The changes typically modify the rock's crystal type and sizes and may also subject the rocks to further radical changes. Metamorphic processes come about at heats between 150° and 795° Celsius with the capability of producing high energy that can break and reform the chemical compositions of the rocks. Pressure from the overlying rocks also increases the process of transformation. READ

Galena Galena is the major ore of lead, and has been mined and worked since ancient times, e.g. the Romans used lead for weights, coins, vases, plumbing. Galena, a sulphide mineral, contains up to 86% lead, and may contain up to 1% silver. The large volume of galena that is processed for lead produces enough silver as a by-product to also make galena the leading ore of silver.

These examples show that a wide range of variability can be expected, implying that it is difficult to use values of intrinsic chargeability (in models obtained by inversion of IP data) to determine exactly what type of rock or material is in the ground. However, this is an ongoing topic of research.
