If both exceed their solubility limits and form molecular structures small enough to stay suspended, then both and either can be considered colloidal. Next questions: Can such a molecular structure consist of both molecules in one crystal and can peroxide scavange one away and/or the other and break the crystal apart while producing metallic silver in the process?
What role could suspended oxides in such a crystal play in 'shades of black' darkened tints of a color produced by particle size? aka "tea" colors. It is possible that "particles" can be too small for a laser to 'see'. [?] Relativly high PPM, low conductivity and little TE is a possible combination further complicating the use of meters?
