Acanthite | Formula | /Images/picture.jpg | Inglaterra Mine, Francisco Portillo, West Camp, Santa Eulalia Mining District, Aquiles Serdán Municipality, Chihuahua, Mexico OR Torres mine, Guanajuato, Guanajuato Municipality, Guanajuato, Mexico | acquired 2013 | Matrix unidentified | Possible Silver | Specimen came with two labels; the visible label was "Acanthite pseudo / Argentite Cubic Xls" from Mina Inglaterra, the second label (from La Plata y Oro) was hidden under the cotton padding
in the box was "Acanthite with Silver" from the Torres Mine. From the collection of Kevin Ponzio. The name 'argentite' refers to the high-temperature form of silver sulphide, only stable over 177°C. Below this temperature, any samples of 'argentite' convert to acanthite. The correct way to label such specimens would be "acanthite, pseudo-cubic" or "acanthite, pseudomorphous after argentite". |
