A cameo from galena
Galena (PbS) makes a brief appearance in the trailer for James Cameron's new movie Avatar:

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.

... or maybe the silver that's likely there in trace amounts.
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.
