Thank you for the responses on silver, there is clearly no consensus.
I have come across viterite as a synonym for witherite but cannot find, in
my immediate resources, where the name was first used, is it more or less an
alterative spelling of witherite or is it a name in its own right, if the
latter can anyone help with its origin. For those who may stumble across it
the Star Wars connections is spurious.
