<p>ComTow: Changed Real Life heading</p> <hr /> <div>{{stonelookup/0}}{{av}}{{Quality|Exceptional}}<br /> '''Native silver''' is an ore of [[silver]], a mid-value metal. Native silver may also be [[Smelter|smelted]] with other ores to create [[electrum]] and [[billon]]. Native silver can be found as veins in [[gneiss]] and [[granite]]. When mined, hunks of native silver are called ''silver nuggets''.<br /> <br /> [[Horn silver]] is mostly identical to native silver, other than its name and physical properties. [[Tetrahedrite]] and [[galena]] are related ores which, once smelted, '''may''' produce a bar of silver.<br /> <br /> == In Real Life ==<br /> <br /> Native silver is not technically an ore; it's just chunks of mostly pure metallic silver, naturally formed. As silver is not very reactive, as metals go, this is not an extremely uncommon form to find silver in.<br /> <br /> {{gamedata}}<br /> {{stones}}<br /> {{Category|Ore}}<br /> {{Category|Economic Stone}}</div>

<p>ComTow: Added the real life uses, and linked the article.</p> <hr /> <div>{{quality|Exceptional|23:00, 10 November 2010 (UTC)}}{{stonelookup/0|uses=*[[Porcelain]]}}{{av}}<br /> <br /> '''Kaolinite''' is a [[magma-safe]] dark red stone, much like [[bauxite]]. It can be used at a [[kiln]] to produce [[porcelain]] goods.<br /> <br /> == Real Life ==<br /> <br /> In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaolinite real world], Kaolinite is one of the most common minerals. Being a clay mineral, Kaolinite clay occurs in abundance in [[soil|soils]] that have formed from the chemical weathering of rocks in hot, moist climates—for example in [[Forest|tropical rainforest]] areas. While it is largely used in the production of paper, cosmetics, and [[Soap|soaps]]; it can also be used in [[farming]] in the form of a spray as to deter insect damage.<br /> <br /> {{gamedata}}<br /> {{stones}}</div>
