Galena is a primary source of lead, and as such is not recommended for internal use such as making gem elixirs. It is, though, a "stone of harmony" and brings healing, calmness, efficiency, receptivity, communication and insight. It has been known to decrease inflammations and skin eruptions, and help with circulation problems and hair growth. Carried in a medicine bag or pocket, though, it has grounding properties.

These tumbled galena stones are not the world's prettiest faces, but with the properties they bring, they are definitely worth having one or two of in your crystal healing kit.
