OriginalAcanthite crystal, specimen 4.0 × 2.5 × 1.5 cm from Morocco
Reason
Quality lead image of Acanthite crystal, a form of silver sulfide. According to this article, in nature silver "mostly occurs in sulfide ores, especially acanthite and argentite". Interestingly silver sulfides are useful in photography! I saw this today on Commons FP noms.
