Argentite is stable above 179 C. Acanthite is stable below 179 deg. C. Acanthite, Ag 2 S, crystallizes in the monoclinic system and is the stable form of silver sulfide below 173 °C. Argentite is the stable form above that temperature. As argentite cools below that temperature its cubic form is distorted to the monoclinic form of acanthite.

The most important ore mineral of silver is argentite (Ag2S, silver sulfide). In the United States, Nevada is the leading producer of silver where it is a by-product of gold mining.

The name "argentite" sometimes also refers to pseudomorphs of argentite: specimens of acanthite which still display some of the outward signs of the cubic crystal form, even though their actual crystal structure is monoclinic due to the lower temperature. This form of acanthite is occasionally found as uneven cubes and octahedra, but more often as dendritic or earthy masses, with a blackish ...

The Silver Peak mining district in Esmerelda County, Nevada was very productive in the late 1800s, but work continued through the early 1900s, and is still a site for ongoing open pit gold mining to this day. This area produced many millions of dollars from silver ore which looked like this specimen.

Other elements regularly mined with Silver include argentite, pyrargyrite, and cerargyrite, the latter sometimes known as Horn Silver. Silver also occurs alongside lead, copper and zinc ores, which is why nearly 50% of mined Silver today is obtained when processing other kinds of ore.

The finds at Imiter (Africa's largest silver mine) in recent years have placed it among the world's best localities for crystallized acanthite. Although these crystals formed as argentite, argentite is not stable below 179C, at which point it changes to monoclinic acanthite.

All that remained of Argentite was the mill and a handful of homes. Although a few residents were encouraged to stay and rebuild, most left the area. The mill followed suit and burnt down the following year. After that Argentite fell into obscurity. In 1935 the trolley cars were shut down and the line removed. All but one mine closed.

The name 'argentite' refers to the high-temperature form of silver sulphide, only stable over 177°C. Below this temperature, any samples of 'argentite' convert to acanthite. The name argentite is therefore used (confusingly) by some to describe pseudo-cubic pseudomorphs of silver sulphide (acanthite) where the original crystal form of the high-temperature cubic argentite has remained.

Argentite was among the unlikely victims and by the time things were brought under control, only the mill and a few homes were left. As for the mill, that was only a brief reprieve. It burnt to the ground the following year. By the 1930s, Argentite was finished.

Lovely 'Figure 8' of wire Silver from the greatest of all Silver localities, Kongsberg! The surface has been altered to Argentite, and that probably to Acanthite, creating a sparkly surface that is even more scintillating in person. This is a highly unusual specimen, overall, and as elegant as these can get for a miniature, in my opinion.
