  12. Our curator @AdamStuartSmith is picking out objects for our next permanent gallery, which may include a small section on UV light. These reference snaps show how a specimen of dolomite+fluorite+galena looks different under normal and UV light. The fluorite glows spectacularly under UV light.

  15. This past weekend I was camping with Scouts near Galena, IL. About 63 deg F for highs and 40 deg F for lows overnight. I did not think it was possible to have such perfect weather for camping in April but we pretty much had it. It's too early for the majority of annoying bugs as well. We spent most of Saturday away from camp and I forgot my sunscreen back in my tent, so the top of my head has a little sunburn. #ouch #camping #scouts #galena #ilwx

  17. Squarish, tabular #Cerussite scattered across an orange matrix, surrounded by exposed #Galena with typical right angled breakage planes.

    #Fossicked from #MineWaste at Wheal Clinton, Flushing, #Cornwall. Found below the high tide level, beneath the main shaft of an old lead/silver mine (now in a rich person's enormous garden overlooking the sea).

    Some of the galena is tarnished blue indicating it has a high silver content (~3% according to historical records).

    I have visited #Galena.

    There is a #garlic store on the main strip that my wife and I still reference.

    It smelled like heaven.

    I'm in downtown #Chicago, full of brightly lit high-rises.

    Also, I gave up my car several years ago and rely only on transit and walking โ€” neither of which will get me to a dark cornfield ๐Ÿ™

    The town of #Galena in northern #Illinois is known for its astronomy-observer friendly ordinances. The town has rules for lighting that promote dark sky observation and stargazing. Wish I could be in #GalenaTerritories.

In addition to lead, some deposits contain up to 0.5 percent silver, in the form of silver sulfide or as limited silver in solid solution; when present, this byproduct far surpasses the main lead ore in revenue. Galena has been used since antiquity, one of its oldest uses being the production of kohl...
