2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Galena mineral contains almost 87% of Lead metal in it, Galena is sulfide mineral.
The best available source of Lead metal today is by recycling automobile batteries.

It is found in copper ores and from the crust of the earth.

It is the most malleable and ductile metal.

Gold alloys are used in Dentistry as fillings, crowning, clips, etc. It is also used as an artificial limb joints.
