The galena in this photo is coarse-grained galena. There is a clear boundary between galena and gangue, and lead minerals and gangue monomers can be dissociated by crushing. Because the specific gravity of galena is relatively large, up to 7.4-7.6, while the specific gravity of gangue usually does not exceed 3.0, gravity separation can get a ...

A Brief History of Derbyshire Lead Mining
The lead mineral sought by miners was galena or lead sulphide (PbS) but few veins consisted of more than 10% galena. An average galena content was 5% or less and some veins only held 2%. These lesser quality veins were followed in the hope that they would lead to richer ones. Mining practices varied depending on how the lead ore had deposited.
