Have you never seen Mesosilver (I have a bottle)? Have you never looked at
what happens when you have a solution containing silver oxide? Have you never
looked at a solution with a silver oxide precipitate?  Obviously not!.
Silver oxide dissolved in water is crystal clear.  At about 13 ppm, it will
form a precipitate, the water will appear milky, not tan.  When you let it
stand, the precipitate will settle out and form a tan layer on the bottom.
Meso silver is clear and tan, it cannot be silver oxide.  Silver oxide could
be present, but would not contribute to the color, and could not be present
in quantites greater than about 13 ppm, or it would precipitate out and
collect on the bottom, which it does not.

Huh? Elemental silver is insoluable and cannot form a solution. Finely
divided elemental is black whether in a suspension, or dry like it is on a
used electrode..

That is small silver particles in suspension not a solution, and is black as
I pointed out in a previous email when you were identifying black fine silver
powder on the cathode as silver hydroxide.  It is easy to prove it is fine
silver power, if you press or rub it, it will malleably aggregate  to form a
silver colored mass.

Not true. Look at the graphs of the wavelength of color absorbed vs particle
size for silver particles I have posted to this group before.  To get the tan
color requires particles absorbing in the blue and blue-green range.
