DEF

Argent tel qu'on le rencontre dans la nature : blanc, gris ou noir quand il est terni, [de] structure cristalline [...] cubique.

CONT

Argent natif. Il paraît être très courant, mais le plus souvent dans un tel état de division qu'il n'est pas décelable [...] Ce sont alors des fils flexueux, des fibres, des paillettes. Même dureté que le cuivre [...], mais plus dense [...] en moyenne. Sectile comme le cuivre, il donne sous le couteau un trait très brillant, blanc éclatant, qui se ternit très vite au contact de l'air.
