Galena has been used since ancient times, because lead can be smelted from galena in an ordinary wood fire. It was also learned early that silver could be purified from smelted Galena. In addition to lead, it is the most important source of silver. In many deposits, the galena contains up to 0.5% silver, a byproduct that far surpasses the value of the lead metal in the mineral.
