It's variable, but in general I'd suggest dark, on the heavy side, and shiny, sulfides like galena, acanthite, maybe with red glints, eg the ruby silvers, pyrargyrite and proustite.

Silver is a common byproduct of mining other minerals, and the ore often doesn't look like much.

Some mines, like those of Cobalt, Ontario, produced much ore that was actually composed of solid silver, in the form of thin to thick sheets, masses, and wires.
