This is a very large sheet of native silver still attached to some of the matrix in which it formed as a vein (you can see this chunk on the back side). The sheet of silver here can hardly be called a leaf, as that suggests fragility - and this is a thick and sturdy sheet of silver. The silver has a pretty iridescence about it from the bornite coating.
