A mineral form of silver chloride, an important ore of silver that appears as colorless to pale yellow crystals.
From chlor- (chlorine) + argyrite (from Greek 'argyros' silver + -ite mineral suffix). A halide mineral containing silver and chlorine.
Chlorargyrite was so important for silver mining that it's been extracted since ancient times—and it's photosensitive, meaning it darkens when exposed to sunlight!
