    it seems that someone thinks that Alpaca is wool!!!  Unfortunately
    this thought is uneducated when it comes to metals. Alpaca is NICKLE,
    not silver, not wool.  Unless you polish it, it will look like it is
    covered with Liver of Sulpher.  Some clame that "Alpaca" (the metal)
    is non-tarnishing silver. (just another falsehood!)
