### That's sort of what I expected, though not to this degree. let's see if i have this straight Ionic silver is a single atom minus an electron, so it has a + charge [conducts in water] An ionic cluster is a crystal? of various sizes, with a + charge [coducts in water] Metallic silver has no charge? and can be of any size [does not conduct in water] "Colloidal silver" can be both ionic [conductive/charged] and metallic [nonconductive/not charged] as long as the particle size meets some max spec?
Note: I have never had any noticable settling in a normal/average batch. I have had batches turn a little bit yellow but only if left open to the air in a wide mouth container over night.
