Silver
Mood:  lyrical
Topic: Silver
Pure (100%) silver (also called fine silver) is a beautiful soft white metal, very durable and malleable but too soft for use by itself as jewellery, as it scratches easily; but combined with small amounts of other metals, often copper, in a form known as sterling silver, it is harder and can last for hundreds of years with a little tender loving care.
