The color's shade is a product of the particle size, the density of the
color is a product of the size and the concentration.  When particles
are sufficiently small, then the absorbed spectrum is in the uv, so it
will appear clear to humans.  As you increase CS concentration, then the
particle size increases.  So it can be used as a crude measure of
concentration for any consistant method of manufacture.  For low
concentrations, like 5 to 10 ppm, it would be best to be clear.  For
higher concentrations, such as above 20 ppm, it becomes increasingly
difficult to make it clear, and a light yellow or gold is still very
good.

Argyria.  No reported case of argyria has EVER been reported from taking
colloidal silver of any concentration.  Argyria has been reported from
taking silver salts, such as silver nitrate and silver citrate, as well
as mild silver protein.  I firmly believe that properly made colloidal
silver not only does not cause argyria, but is an actual prophylactic
against it.

I use to sell it, but never could sell enough to make it worthwhile.  I
now recommend people to make their own. Both the SG6 and silver puppy
units are reported to be very good.
