Nickle Silver
Posted on Thursday, December 22, 2011 in Western Collectibles
nitric acid test on a object I thought might be silver, The color was black what metal might this be.?
The acid didnt show blue indicating nickle silver not blood red ( Sterling) not cream no green just Black. Thanks for any help...
sounds like you made silver nitrate. from wikipedia:
Silver nitrate crystals can be produced by dissolving silver in nitric acid and evaporating the solution. The compound notably stains skin a greyish or black color that is made visible after exposure to sunlight.
if it made your skin black after exposure to sunlight, you've got silver. watch out, though... AgNO3 is toxic.
forgin Nickel Silver
