I believe the answer is:

magical

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

'remarkable' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'claim to work with silver' is the wordplay.
'to work' is an anagram indicator (letters worked into a new order).
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'silver' becomes 'Ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'claim' is an anagram of 'mical'.
'mical' going around 'ag' is 'MAGICAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for magical that I've seen before include "Bewitching" , "Occult, supernatural" , "miraculous!" , "charmed" , "Fascinating - occult" .)
