Galena
Chemical composition: Lead sulfate.
Gelling system: isometric.
Exterior: a common cubic crystals and
granular monolithic blocks, with Gray gray color.
Physical properties: a soft hardness (5/2 to 8/2), very heavy weight unbreakable, complete with schizophrenia, tinted with metallic luster, a Mkhaddh gray and gray color.
Environment: located in the veins under high and low temperature or in the gaps and cracks in the limestone rocks. Common minerals associated with Galena are: Svalrat, Barrett, Klkuperet, metals etc .. silver. Galena common metals and secondary accompaniment for a number of rocks.
Uses: galena ore is the key to the lead that is used in batteries, glass and ceramic products industry. Also used in welding and paint, also added to gasoline.
Range: Found in small amounts in volcanoes associated with the formation Alhawwasnh In Hatat melt down (in the spatial origin) rocks, and in the Green Mountain formation Siq base.

Gold and silver
Although studies of geochemical metal gold and silver in many areas in the Sultanate, but there was no valid there for imaging samples so far. These two elements are often accost are accompanying the mineralization Solid sulfur or iron in Kabbaatha. Gold in Oman there is usually in the form of metal between the metal sulfide Alakharyy granules or in quartz veins. I found silver in the crystalline structures of some metals such as sulphide (Ferrerbergat, Ttrahid Wright, Tinanti).
Chemical composition: iron oxide and titanium.
Gelling system: Hexagonal.
External shape: flat crystals, or Cefhah Maanah and also granular or compact communities, Lions have color or dark brown.
Physical properties: hardness ranging between (5-6), heavy weight, colorless schizophrenia, opaque and has a metallic luster, sometimes be of Daiqh magnetic property increases with temperature. It shall be loosed thick textures with metal Alehikeli magnesium oxide and titanium) and The Black Mkhaddh to dark brown.
Environment: This metal exists in huge quantities in the sand, especially as the sands of the sea also exist in trans such as: rock (Nice and chest and chlorite), a metal commonly found in igneous rocks underground.
Uses: ore is a major titanium metal used in titanium dioxide, which is used for the manufacture of paper and plastic pigments industry.
His presence: Etwaj in Sih Hatat area accompanist of heavy metals and other Kalmonazet zircon.
Kartoneto
Chemical composition: Vanadett potassium, uranium Almmaoh.
Gelling system: monoclinic.
Exterior: Flour, crystallization, earthy powdery, light yellow color, a rare presence in the form of crystals.
Natural properties: Very smooth, heavy weight, easy breakage (brittle), complete with schizophrenia earthy luster which has a radioactive strength.
Environment: metal byproduct groundwater impact on metals enrichment. Resides in the sandstone rocks rich in organic matter, also cracks in the limestone, rock phosphate.
Uses: Energy is one of metals, and it mainly raw uranium and Vandiom.
His presence: present in small quantities through the level of stratification and in some cracks limestone rock in the Sultanate of Oman.
