Silver granulate 999.9 - raw material for jewellers and craftsmen
Silver granulate is a form of precious metal in the shape of small, regular grains obtained by controlled pouring of molten silver into water. The grains obtained this way have a diameter of approximately 1-3 mm, a characteristic drop shape and uniform 999.9/1000 fineness throughout the entire volume. Granulate is the primary raw material for jewellers, goldsmiths, art foundries and craft workshops - it melts easily, can be precisely dosed, and ensures reproducibility of composition in silver alloys for workshop production processes.
Unlike bullion bars, granulate is not an investment product with an assay certificate and serial number for a single grain - however, each bottle/package has a collective certificate confirming the fineness and total weight. Argor-Heraeus as an LBMA Good Delivery accredited refinery guarantees the purity of the raw material and full transparency of the supply chain from ore to finished granulate.
