  • Galena or some form of an ite?

    I have a guide to minerals, rocks and fossils and even with it I'm not sure what these are. The first few times I saw one I didn't pick it up, my first impression that it was something man made. They resemble a brush to an old DC electric motor. As I found more and more I started sticking them in my pocket. Now my curiosity has gotten to me. Can any of my geologist friends help me out?

    Well if it is Galena it is going to be heavy like lead. It does look a lot like it to me.

      Looks like galena to me too. Cleavage and color looks right. I've found it on sites too. It is our state mineral here Missouri.
