Sectility distinguishes it from other sulfides, particularly galena (which shows far better brittle cleavage). Grayer color distinguishes it from very white native silver; colorless nitric acid solution distinguishes it from chalcocite; copper nitrate solution is green.
Occurrence
Argentite is the most important primary ore of silver. Of common occurrence in veins with native silver. It seems to have catalytic power, with wire silver appearing to rise from argentite crystal surfaces. Fine crystals are found in Mexico, in Saxony, at Kongsberg, Norway, and at Cobalt, Ontario. Encountered near the surface of ore veins; there are no good commercial occurrences remaining in the U.S.

I would definitely make enquiries about selling It. This stuff is used for electro copper plating. If you have something that is silver plated, scratch off the silver and you will find copper plating underneath. If you try to silver plate steel, It won't take but If you copper plate the steel first and then silver plate, It works. Could be you've got a nice bit of bunce there.

Isn't Copper Nitrate what they pay the police after dark?
