A soft, white, lustrous transition metal, it exhibits the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and reflectivity of any metal. The metal is found in the Earth's crust in the pure, free elemental form ("native silver"), as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite.

Its purity is typically measured on a per mille basis; a 94%-pure alloy is described as "0.940 fine". - Hubert van Innis ( 24 February 1866 -- 25 November 1961 ) was a Belgian competitor in the sport of archery .
