OferAZ 31 Posted July 17, 2019 Just wondering if there is a simple test to see if this is Galena. I found it a few years ago, with the detector. It was just out there all by it self in the middle of nowhere. Very heavy for its size 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fuss 37 Posted July 17, 2019 Hardness and streak tests are as simple as it gets. Galena will have a dark grey to black streak and will easily scratch with a knife. What you may have here is some kind of iron ore material if you found it with a metal detector, put a magnet to it and see if it sticks, if does its not galena.
