This precious gemstone is a huge product from lead mining and is used for many different things we have today. This can be used in cutlery and jewelery.

Most silver is a product of lead mining. The main silver mining areas of the world are South America, the USA, Australia, and the former USSR. The greatest single producer of silver is probably Mexico, where silver has been mined for almost 500 years. As early as 700 B.C. Mesopotamian merchants used silver as a form of exchange. The ancient Greeks minted the drachma, which contained 1/8th ounce of silver. And let's not forget the English shilling "sterling", originally denoting a specific weight of silver, and now has come to mean excellence. Silver has always been surrounded by mystery. The Incas of Peru called it "the tears of the moon" because they were awed by silver's strangle gleam, and the Chinese believed that a silver locket hung around a child's neck would ward off evil spirits.
