I've seen silver ore in bands.... usually it will stay purple... I've seen bands of silver ore in rocks and cobbles in dry washes in the desert, where the daytime heat is very hot.. and it also gets cold in the winter..and the silver usually stay purple...
One thing I've learned about prospecting..just when you believe you have figured out what it is you have found based completely on experience, it usually about that time you learn something new and everything changes concerning what you believe you have found...
The real proof is in the assay...
Crush it to a fine powder and heat it and see if silver bubbles up...(make sure you are outside and up wind..or in a very well ventilated area...)
Most likely it's not silver... but who knows...
Hope that helps...
Good luck,
Klondike Ike
