Elemental Silver

Elemental Silver

Elemental silver is silver that is not chemically combined with any other substances, minerals.

Silver is listed on the Periodic Table as an element with an atomic weight of 47 and is lustrous, a transition metal, shiny or white.  Its symbol is Ag.  It exhibits the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and reflectivity of any metal.

I bought this "card" of elemental silver samples in June at the fair grounds.  The come from Bulldog Mtn., Creede, Colorado.

According to geology.com Elemental Silver is rare.

Elemental Silver

When found, it is often in the same location with quartz, gold, copper, sulfides of other metals, arsenides of other metals, and other silver minerals.  As I stated above, elemental silver is a pure element.
