Hessite (massive, silvery-gray) filling space between quartz crystals. Identification based on: -EDS of a grain pulled from the silvery portion furthest to the right in the photograph. -Sectility (a steel pin was pressed into the mineral, which was able to be deformed without crumbling, similar to acanthite). -Silvery-gray color.
