'''PRIDE 2''' was a [[mixed martial arts]] event held by [[PRIDE|KRS-PRIDE]] (later renamed PRIDE Fighting Championships). It took place at [[Yokohama Arena]] in [[Yokohama]], [[Japan]] on March 15, 1998. Kazushi Sakuraba, Mark Kerr, Vernon White, and Marco Ruas all made their PRIDE debuts at this event.

'''Galena''' is the natural mineral form of [[lead sulfide]]. It is the most important [[lead]] [[ore]] mineral.

== Results ==

Galena is one of the most abundant and widely distributed sulfide minerals. It crystallizes in the [[Cubic (crystal system)|cubic]] crystal system often showing [[octahedral]] forms. It is often associated with the minerals [[sphalerite]], [[calcite]] and [[fluorite]].

==={{flagicon| BRA}} [[Royler Gracie]] vs. {{flagicon| JPN}} [[Naoki Sano|Yuhi Sano]]===

Gracie defeated Sano by armbar at 33:14 of round 1.

==={{flagicon| BRA}} [[Juan Mott]] vs. {{flagicon| JPN}} [[Akira Shoji]]===

==Lead ore deposits==

Shoji defeated Mott by submission (Rear Naked Choke) at 3:47 of round 1.

Galena deposits often contain significant amounts of [[silver]] as included silver sulfide mineral phases or as limited solid solution within the galena structure. These argentiferous galenas have long been the most important ore of silver in [[mining]]. In addition zinc, cadmium, antimony, arsenic and bismuth also occur in variable amounts in lead ores. Selenium substitutes for sulfur in the structure constituting a solid solution series. The lead [[telluride]] mineral [[altaite]] has the same crystal structure as galena. Within the [[weathering]] or [[oxidation]] zone galena alters to [[anglesite]] (lead sulfate) or [[cerussite]] (lead carbonate).

William Roosmalen defeated Ralph White by KO (knee to the body).

==={{flagicon| JPN}} [[Kazushi Sakuraba]] vs. {{flagicon| USA}} [[Vernon White]]===

Galena deposits are found in [[France]], [[Romania]], [[Austria]], [[Belgium]], [[Italy]], [[Spain]], [[Scotland]], [[England]], [[Australia]], and [[Mexico]]. Noted deposits include those at [[Freiberg, Saxony]]; [[Cornwall]], [[Derbyshire]], and [[Cumberland]], [[England]]; the [[Sullivan mine]] of [[British Columbia]]; and [[Broken Hill]], [[Australia]]. Galena also occurs at [[Mount Hermon]] in Northern [[Israel]]. In the [[United States]] it occurs most notably in the [[Mississippi Valley]] type deposits of southeastern [[Missouri]] and in similar environments in [[Illinois]], [[Iowa]] and [[Wisconsin]]. Galena also was a major mineral of the zinc-lead mines of the [[tri-state district]] arpond [[Joplin]] in southwestern Missouri and the adjoining areas of [[Kansas]] and [[Oklahoma]]. Galena is also an important ore mineral in the silver mining regions of [[Colorado]], [[Idaho]], [[Utah]] and [[Montana]]. Of the latter, the [[Coeur d'Alene, Idaho|Coeur d'Alene]] district of northern Idaho was most prominent.

Sakuraba defeated White by submission (armbar) at 6:53 of round 3.

==={{flagicon| BRA}} [[Renzo Gracie]] vs. {{flagicon| JPN}} [[Sanae Kikuta]]===

Gracie defeated Kikuta by submission (guillotine choke) at :43 round 6.

==={{flagicon| TRI}} [[Gary Goodridge]] vs. {{flagicon| BRA}} [[Marco Ruas]]===

Galena is the [[List of U.S. state minerals, rocks, and gemstones|official state mineral]] of [[Missouri]] and [[Wisconsin]], [[USA]].

Ruas defeated Goodridge by submission (Heel Hook) at 9:09 of round 1.

==={{flagicon| CRO}} [[Branko Cikatic]] vs. {{flagicon| USA}} [[Mark Kerr]]===

==Uses==

Cikatic was disqualified for grabbing the ropes at 2:14 of the first round.

One of the earliest uses of galena was as [[kohl]], which in [[Ancient Egypt]] was applied around the eyes to reduce the glare of the desert sun and to repel flies, a potential source of disease.{{cn}}

Galena was once used as a [[semiconductor]] (i.e. the crystal) in [[Crystal set|crystal radio sets]]; combined with a safety pin or similar sharp wire (known as a [[Cat's whisker diode|"cat's whisker"]]), the galena crystal became part of a point-contact [[diode]] used to detect radio signals.
