Silver, called "Argentum" in Latin -- from where its periodic table name (Ag) comes from--, is a very special precious metal in many ways. Its color is bright white, metallic, lustrous and shinny. In its native form it is found sometimes on the surface of the earth in the pure native form of nuggets or dendrites. Other times it appears in strata, mixed with other metals. When mined, the silver ores can be found in alloy with other metals like Arsenic, Gold, Antimony, Lead, Copper, Zinc, etc.
