Plumbum (Pb) Lead

Went up to clean the gutters today and came face to face with the weekly challenge theme of 'LEAD' or at least one interpretation of the word.

Most commonly found in the mineral form of Galena or lead sulphide. It has the handy feature for us humans of being both waterproof and easy to mould into shape. It's also fairly poisonous, mainly to the nervous system so don't eat it. I did fancy heating a bit up to melt it into the shiny silvery molten form, but probably a bit hazardous for a blip.
