Galena

Galena, also known as lead glance, is a naturally occurring sulfide mineral and the primary ore of lead, while also serving as a significant source of silver. It is one of the most abundant and widely distributed sulfide minerals, prized both for its metallic luster and its importance in mining and industrial applications.

Cerussite

Cerussite is a striking lead carbonate mineral most commonly found in the oxidized zones of lead ore deposits. It often forms as a secondary mineral, developing through the weathering of Galena and other lead-rich ores. Known for its brilliant luster, high density, and sometimes colorless or white crystal formations, Cerussite is both an important ore of lead and a highly sought-after specimen among mineral collectors.

Barite

Barite stands out with its wide array of colors and unique crystal shapes, making it a beloved mineral for collectors. Its distinct heaviness makes it easy to tell apart from many lighter minerals. Barite frequently takes the place of other minerals and can even substitute for organic materials like wood, shells, and fossils. Sometimes, it forms tufaceous mounds from the buildup of barium-rich deposits in hot springs.
