Silver is a highly conductive precious mineral rarely found in its pure elemental form.
Crystal system: isometric Also known as the cubic or isostructural system.
When fresh, silver had a brilliant metallic cluster and a white silver colour, but quickly tarnishes (oxidizes) to a gray or black hue. It had a MOHs hardness of 2.5-3.0.
Rick formation: silver ore deposits typically form deep underground through fluid circulation and precipitate in a few primary geological environments.
Hydrothermal veins- formed when superheated groundwater or magma derived brine dissolves diver,transporting it through faults and fractures. As the fluid cools and depressurised it deposits silver and associated minerals (commonly with quartz or calcite) into veins.
Epithermal deposits- high- greased veins formed at shallow depths by low to moderate temperature hydrothermal fluids fluids, often associated with historic or active volcanic and magmatic arcs.
