One of the most important localities of Chlorargyrite is the famous silver mine at Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia. This locality has produced some of the best examples of this mineral, in a lightly-colored, bromium-rich type. In the 1980's, highly regarded collector's examples of this mineral were found in the Kintore open cut of that mine.
In the U.S., unusual
cubic Chlorargyrite crystals were found De Lamar Mine, near Silver City, Owyhee Co., Idaho. This find is regarded by many to have produced the most well-crystallized examples of this mineral. Waxy brown coatings of Chlorargyrite have come from Calico, San Bernardino Co., California; and small greasy crystals from the Silver Coin Mine, Valmy, Humboldt Co., Nevada. Other locations in the Western U.S. include Leadville, Lake Co., Colorado; the Tintic District, Utah Co., Utah; and Bisbee and Tombstone, Cochise Co., Arizona.
