Good day everyone, hope we are doing pretty good. i am back again with another post, this time not to tell you how expensive some things made of gold are, but to tell you some fun fact you probably don't know about silver.

1* silver is the most reflective metal or element

I know some of you might be thinking what about diamond, well scientists have confirmed that silver is more reflective and it is the most reflective element in the world and it is used in mirrors, microscopes because it reflects 95% of the visible spectrum.

2* Mexico is the largest producer of silver

when i first saw this i was surprised myself, because if i was to make a wild guess Mexico won't come to mind. Hollywood as really portrayed Mexico in the wrong way, the only time we hear about Mexico in America movies is when they want to catch a drug cartel or a criminal escaped and wants to run to Mexico to hide.

Mexico actually produced 5,600 metric tons of diamond in 2021. so for anyone like me that actually think the only thing to Mexico is drugs and cartel, i am telling you now that you are wrong.

3* silver is actually medicinal
yeah, you read that right, silver is medicinal. silver has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years now, and that is where the saying "born with a silver spoon came from" because people use them to fight against germs, since silver is expensive only wealthy people were able to access it, that why the saying came to life. you all shouldn't go about eating silver cause it kills bacteria, just joking, lol.

4* silver can cause rain
yall probabaly dont know that silver can be use to start rain, all you have to do is to do is exposed soilver iodide to the cloud moisture and you will get yourself rain.

well thats it, i hope you learnt some thing new and also find this entertaining, thank you, see you next time.

Right on, I have sleep apnea and so I use a C-Pap breathing machine that also humidifies the intake air, I leave a silver dime in the water reservoir and it works like a charm. A lot less cleaning.

I wonder if that would work with our dog and cat waterer to help keep it a bit cleaner. I will try to figure out where we can put one that won't plug off the little hole. Sometimes it gets a bit of algae slime on it.

I didn't know about the first three but I did know about the rain part. I remember hearing about how they would shoot the clouds with anti-aircraft guns with silver in them to cause the rain to fall.

Very interesting. I also remember getting our dog some colloidal silver that we added to his water to help heal a hot spot on his side. It didn't do anything but I thought it was an interesting concept and probably stems from the antibacterial nature.

Wow great facts about silver. It's the most reflective element that's good to know !

I probably didn't know this much about silver though. Truly knowledge is powerful
