I figure this is the best forum for this question, being chemistry and all. Last night I was aquascaping my new tank, and about halfway thru the sterling silver ring I wear caught my eye. It turned a deep bronze or gold color. I'm baffled by this. I tried googling it, and the only thing I came up with was some crazies talking about sterling silver roasaries turning gold... obviously by a miracle!! Hahah... any thoughts?
