Excerpt from Notes on Lead Ores: Their Distribution and Properties

Spring waters, which generally contain varying percentages of carbonates, sulphates, and other salts, do not corrode lead as pure water does. Lead has little taste, but when rubbed it yields a perceptible smell. While it does not soil the fingers, it makes a faint bluish black streak on paper.
