I have my late grandpa’s silver spoon attached to my fridge with a neodymium magnet. What kind of chemical reaction causes that discolouration?

    There are multiple examples of the colorful toning in the article I linked. So you appreciated the link, but not enough ot actually look through it.

      Pictures of tungsten tarnishing aren’t helpful when op is talking about silver. Stating “thank you, that’s the general idea yes, but I was trying to ask more specifically” isn’t an attack on you. You don’t need to defend yourself.

      I read everything. (Even changed to my mother tongue.)
      Didn’t find anything about interactions of different metals. It only said something about interactions of metals and non-metals.
