Native Silver from
Sur les Roches quarry, Bastogne, Luxembourg, Wallonia, Belgium
| Locality type: | Quarry | |
| Classification | ||
|---|---|---|
| Species: | Native Silver | |
| Formula: | Ag | |
| Comments: | Dendritic aggregates up to 4-5mm associated with altered galena and acanthite. The aggregates are formed by entangled crystals among which two forms are observed: the cube {100} and the rhombododecahedron {110}. The identification of this mineral has been confirmed by chemical analysis which shows Ag with minor Cu, Zn, I, and Cl. The two last elements are probably related to the presence of halides such as iodargyrite, AgI, or chlorargyrite, AgCl. | |
