Galena

Galena, also called lead glance, is a natural mineral from sulfide. It is the most important ore of lead and an important source of silver. Galena is one of the most abundant and widely distributed sulfide minerals

Cerussite

Cerussite is a lead carbonate mineral, usually found in the oxidized zone of lead ore deposits. It is a very common weathering product of Galina and other lead ore minerals.

Barite

Barite is a fascinating mineral admired for its wide range of colors, crystal forms, and unique growth habits, making it a favorite among mineral collectors worldwide. One of its most distinctive traits is its unusually heavy weight, which sets it apart from other minerals with a similar appearance. Barite is also known for its replacement properties, often forming in place of other minerals or even organic materials such as wood, shells, and fossils. In some cases, it creates striking tufaceous mounds through the deposition of hot, barium-rich springs. Because of its beauty, density, and geological significance, Barite remains one of the most popular and widely collected minerals.
