Hi,
    Do you think he might mean WITH silver, like a fungus stain such as GMS.
Some doctors refer to this as "a silver stain", even though there are many
different types. Find out what the clinical diagnosis is. If it is a type of
infection then he probably wants a GMS, if it is heavy metal contamination then
I have no idea either.
