Story:
The “alpaca” used for making utensils in Argentina refers to a type of metal alloy, commonly known as nickel silver or German silver. This alloy does not contain actual silver but is typically composed of nickel, zinc, and copper. In contrast, “alpaca” from an animal refers to the natural fiber obtained from the alpaca animal, commonly used in the production of textiles and fabrics.
