I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'natural environment' is the first definition.
'element' can be an answer for 'environment' (element is a kind of environment). I'm not sure about the 'natural' bit.

'silver?' is the second definition.
(silver is a kind of element)

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for element that I've seen before include "eg Fire, air" , "Component - habitat" , "lead, for example" , "An abstract part of something" , "Ingredient - small amount" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
