OK, then it is not just the silver tarnish but some of the other metals like cooper giving it that gold look, something rare in just air, where is goes just back or dull silver. Usually if they turn gold or bronze it is not SS but a "fake" SS. "Fake" SS turns gold to bronze really easy in air or if kept in brown paper bags, which leach sulfur fumes.

An explosion can be defined as a loud noise, accompanied by the sudden going away of things, from a place where they use to be.
