Identification rating of mineral
in Slovakia:
1. WELL IDENTIFIED - mostly combination at least 2 most distinguished analytical methods (X -ray diffraction and electron microprobe) 2. PARTIALLY-INDENTIFIED - mineral mostly analyzed, but for well identification is need to make another analyses 3. UNDERIDENTIFIED - mineral mostly identified only visual, often very problematic or fictive |

Notes: At first were most of acanthites described as argentite. On the present days argentite does not exist as single mineral species and International Mineralogical Association (CNMNC IMA) one characterize as "hypothetical mineral (synthetic, anthropogenic, etc.)". According to analytical data is argentite stable only at the temperature higher than 177 °C. That means cubic crystals of natural argentite are acanthites. The names of acanthite (=argentite) in older German written literature are Silberglanz and Glaserz. Silberschwärze is an old German name of fine-grained black aggregates of sulphides often with important content of acanthite. |

Notes: Oldest occurence of andorite described Cambel (1960) from locality Pod Babou near Pernek on the basis of optical research. Later research the same samples shows that this mineral is bournonite (Cambel & Krištín, 1977). The latest research this locality not prove presence of andorite (Luptáková, 2007). | |
