the point of galena is that lead is worth a bit too. the silver is just a bonus
When I was geo student they took us down the Broken Hill mine (the worlds biggest lead zinc silver deposit), looking up black glittering stopes (like a vertical chamber) 20 stories high of galena. It turns shitty and dull after a few days in the air, but when freshly exposed looks amazing.
Seems quite a positive little metallurgist
