Facts About Silver Silver is a very soft metal which naturally occurs as nuggest or grains. It has a bright, silver-white color and a metallic lustre and tarnishes to grey or black when exposed to oxygen. The largest producer of silver is Mexico, where it has been mined for over 500 years. Other sources are the USA, South America, Australia, and the former USSR. Pure silver is usually alloyed with copper to increase it's strength, creating sterling silver, which is .925 purity.

It helps to regulate the emotional and intuitive energies and provides one with patience and perserverance in chosen tasks. Silver, when combined with gemstones, has the ability to attract and retain within itself the energies of the gemstones. It draws negative energies from the body while transferring the positive energies of other minerals.
