Silver is generally found in rocks, and as a constituent of minerals like acanthite. It can also be found near the surface, in soils and sands, in nearly pure masses, or nuggets, from tiny to hundreds of kilograms, which have been torn from their host rock and smoothed and rounded by glaciation or rivers.
