Formula: Ag
Reflected/transmitted colour: opaque, polished section bright white with a creamy tint, usually tarnishes quickly in air to a more creamy or pinkish colour, which turns pinkish to brown, sometimes irid.
Pleochroism:
Optical isotropy/anisotropy: polished section isotropic, scratches and pits give false light effects

Refractive indices:
Birefringence δ/bireflectance: in polished section not present
2V angle:
Dispersion:
