Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Acanthite, Argentite
Locality: Imiter Mine, Boumalne-Dadès, Ouarzazate Province, Souss-Massa-Draâ Region, Morocco (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: small cabinet, 6.0 x 3.8 x 2.4 cm
Acanthite ps. Argentite
This specimen of octahedral, splendent, jet-black acanthite after argentite, has individual elongated octohedral crystals to 3.5 cm in length shooting from a central cluster. The overall effect is that of a Chinese pagoda, with most of the crystals on top of each other. This new find has lustre - bright sparkling lustre that is hard to convey in photos and quite another world from the appearance of previous finds here. It is nearly a complete floater with no visible point of attachment, with only a small rough area near the base; which as a bonus, is a vug at the lower right edge filled with a druse of cherry red proustite. Complete all around, elegantly vertical, this is a superb acanthite by any standard from any other locality.
