I know, it's been a little while since I did a gimme 5 post. Well with the hf20 and not being able to post for 5 days, I kinda forgot about this little series that I started.
Wow, thats kinda of freaky☝️☝️. Anyways lets get this party started. Here are your daily 5 facts about silver.
- Argentina got its name from the Spanish adjective meaning ‘silvery’, because when Spanish conquerors landed there the natives presented them with silver objects.
- Silver is stable in oxygen and water, but tarnishes when exposed to ozone, hydrogen sulfide or air containing sulfur due to a reaction with sulfur compounds which cause a black sulfide layer.
- The saying “born with a silver spoon in his/her mouth” is commonly interpreted to mean that a child was born into wealth. But it’s origins came from feeding children with actual silver spoons because of the metal’s germ-killing properties. People of ancient civilizations also stored water, wine, and vinegar in silver bottles for the same reason.
- In the early 1900s there were reports of native silver ‘as big as stove lids and cannon balls’ being found in northern Ontario, Canada.
- Silver is believed to be associated with the ability to keep you safe from paranormal creatures and evil spirits and bring positivity.
