The mines at Broken Hill, Yancowinna Co., New South Wales, Australia are amongst the most famous for Chlorargyrite (silver chloride) worldwide but specimens are increasing rare to obtain from the limited number in private hands and museum collections. This rather rich large miniature specimen from the superb systematic collection assembled by the brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021) comes with an old South Australian Museum label from where it was presumably exchanged. This label uses the alternative name of the species - Cerargyrite. The Chlorargyrite occurs as rich waxy cream coloured crystallized masses cementing grains of Quartz.
