pyrargyrite?

Silver Coin Mine, Valmy, Iron Point District, Humboldt Co., Nevada, USA

Pyrargyrite? associated with silver and a acicular metallic mineral, probably owyheeite. Specimen has not been analyzed. Identification was made on the basis of the native silver being intimately associated with the specimen and a mineral similar to owyheeite in the same rock. Field of view, 1mm x 1mm.
