This partly crystallised miniature of what is labelled Argentite is from the renowned silver mining district of Freiberg in Saxony, Germany. The term Argentite refers to high-temperature forms of the silver sulphide, so this specimen should really be termed Acanthite pseudomorphous after Argentite, indicating the cubic habit has been preserved during the drop in temperature to present ambient conditions. The specimen forms dendritic branch-like limbs composed of intergrown metallic grey crystals, some of a part-cubic habit. A fine specimen of dendritic Acanthite (labelled Argentite) from Freiberg.\n
