Summary

Description
English: Acanthite, Argentite
Locality: Imiter Mine, Boumalne-Dadès, Ouarzazate Province, Souss-Massa-Draâ Region, Morocco (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: small cabinet, 7.0 x 6.9 x 3.8 cm
Acanthite ps. Argentite
A hefty and massive, large specimen, this is a floater without a visible point of attachment, complete all around! This very impressive acanthite after argentite has octahedral, splendent, jet-black individual crystals to 2.3 cm in length. The crystals on the right-hand side are mostly single sharp octos while those on the left side have grown one atop another, forming a vivid resemblance to Chinese pagodas. 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. Small druses of proustite are present at the bottom of the backside. This large, important specimen has real presence in person, and stands as a major acanthite from any locality, though I feel these new Moroccan pieces are priced less for their quality than similarly recent acanthites (of somewhat different habit) coming out of China now.
