It is instantly recognizable by its bright metallic silver-gray luster and distinctively heavy weight due to his high lead content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystal system- Cubic (isometric) it highly favors forming distinct,blocky cubes or cubo-octahedral crystal forms. Because of its atomic arrangement,it exhibits perfect cubic cleavage meaning it breaks cleanly in three directions at 90 degree angles in to smaller,right angles geometric fragments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMineral class- Sulfide \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRock formation- It occurs primarily in mid-to low temperature hydrothermal veins,where hot metal rich fluids deep within the earth cool down and deposits minerals in structural fractures. It is also extensively found in sedimentary rocks. Where it replaces carbonate host rocks like limestone and dolostone. It regularly forms alongside other ore minerals like sphalerite,pyrite and chalcopyrite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardness- 2.5-2.75 on the MOHs scale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal and fossils","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63238130467203,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/2524\/3040\/files\/IMG_1993.heic?v=1793892108","url":"https:\/\/crystalandfossils.co.uk\/products\/galena-8","provider":"Crystal and fossils","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
