Silver has always been popular in jewelry and for coinage. Only in the past hundred years has the demand for Silver been so great. The reason for this demand is the use of silver in the photography industry, which takes advantage of Silver’s reactivity to light. Native Silver is rare. Specimens of Native Silver usually consist of wires that are curved and intertwined together, making an inspiring mineralogical curiosity.
