Some thoughts on Fire scale
Copyright © Charles Lewton-Brain 1990 - Ganoskin

Fire scale or fire stain is a reddish purple toned 'bloom' or 'stain' that appears on silver/copper alloys such as sterling silver when they are heated in the presence of oxygen. It even occurs in gold alloys with high copper contents. As it generally appears in the form of blotchy patches following abrasive polishing it is seen as a blemish which destroys the clear reflectivity of finished silver surfaces. It is usually observed best when the silver object is placed on a piece of white paper as then it shows up well. Sometimes it is chosen as a surface finish in order to emphasize texture as when a silversmith like Lois Betteridge uses fire scale to accentuate the visual depth of the hammer marks on a surface by polishing off the tops of the resulting texture leaving them a lighter grey than the reddish tones of the fire scale in the recesses.
