    I'm using ordinary steel shot, not stainless, which probably
    accounts for it as I imagine there must be some sort of chemical
    reaction in the presence of water. The finish I'm getting is dark and
    even and a much better colour for combining with a range of
    semi-precious stones, so I'm not sorry I 'discovered' it, but I will
    invest in some stainless steel shot for future use. 

Many thanks
Pat
