Moderately abundant, waxy and yellowish crystals and crusts to a few mm on a surprisingly heavy (silver rich?) matrix. Chlorargyrite - AgCl, bromargyrite - AgBr, bromian chlorargyrite (embolite) - Ag(Cl,Br) and iodargyrite - AgI are difficult to distinguishing visually; at least but perhaps more are present on this specimen. Nice under magnification: hand lens, microscope or camera lens.
