.925 and sterling are the same thing...
they're the markings/names to trust for the "truest" sort of silver on the market.
Tibetan silver is usually about 1/2 (.5) silver because refined processing is harer there.
I'm not sure about Tiberian silver.
Alpaca Silver only has about 10% (or less) actual silver though, so definately watch out for that one.

.925 silver is Jewelery grade silver the rest being other metals. In sterling silver the other .075 is copper.
