Silver our Celestial Gift
Silver, or element number 47 on the periodic table, has been valued as a precious metal since prehistoric times. Ancient Egyptians regarded silver as a powerful talisman offering protection from malevolent forces within the subtle realm. Numerous temple depictions and artifacts from ancient Egypt reveal that silver was used to fashion beads and ornaments. In fact, inscriptions in Egyptian temples suggest that silver was valued even more highly than gold. Gold was brought to Egypt from the Eastern Desert and Nubia.

In its purest form, silver is a soft metal. Sterling silver, on the other hand, is an alloy, meaning it is a metal mixed with other elements from the periodic table. Sterling silver consists of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper, which contributes to its durability and lustrous appearance. In modern times, many people wear sterling silver as a potent shield against negativity.
As we marvel at the beauty and resilience of silver, let us not forget its cosmic origins. Forged in the fiery crucible of a supernova, silver embodies the divine essence of the cosmos—a celestial gift bestowed upon humanity to guide and protect us on our spiritual journey.
