This, silver chloride, is a rare mineral species from places like Broken Hill, NSW, Australia. From the USA and in particular, California, it is rarer still. I have only ever seen a few out there for sale. This nodule has on one surface a sparkling druse of light brown to cocoa colored microcrystals. Discovered in 1902 and an important historical and locality specimen!
