But a bit unlikely to be silver. Looks like it could be 2 minerals, one possibly arsenopyrite. But impossible to tell things of this colour without other properties.Rockwall said:There are silver mines in the general area.Mackka said:Looks like Silver, but I know nothing!

Lead as the metal is as rare as hen's teeth - never seen a sample in more than 50 years as a geo. And I don't see the cubic cleavage of galena.....worked on a lead mine for many years.Gem in I said:Lead
Wrong colour for bismuthinitembasko said:Being grey it could be one of or even a couple of minerals?
I'll throw bismuthinite in for chits & giggles.
