A cameo from galena

Galena (PbS) makes a brief appearance in the trailer for James Cameron's new movie Avatar:
galena
That metallic luster, that cubic cleavage, that high-specific-gravity heft... It couldn't be anything else. Apparently it's more valuable in the future that it is today. I wonder if the future humans want it for the sulfur or the lead? Watch the full trailer here.

Callan, Shouldn't you be working instead of watching promotions for movies?

Yeah, I was going to say maybe they want it for the silver. I think sometimes there is enough that silver actually recovered from galena in processing.

That must represent the energy source called unobtanium in the movie.
