Hi I just found this site and hope someone can help. I have what we believe is a 36 lb Galena stone. We are looking for a collector or someone interested in purchasing it. It was picked up in Arizona around 45 years ago by my grandfather. My daughter took it to school and the teachers ran some tests and said its from the bottom of mines and usually is really small. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just a note we are in North Central Illinois at this time.

I just found out today the teacher ran some extra tests and the rock is Galena not Hematite. I googled it but came up with very little.

Any pictures? I'm not sure there are any collectors who specifically collect galena, - it is pretty stuff, silverish shiny and heavy - but maybe I'm wrong (it's been known to happen). Have you checked other rockhound forums or one of the numerous online rock shops?
