    I think it has to do with your body chemistry. My first husband
    fingers would tarnish black terrible when he wore sterling silver
    rings. We had to switch to gold. He was a mechanical engineer and
    handled a lot of metal parts all day long. He and his co-workers
    noticed that the spots where his he touched the machine parts finger
    prints would appear very fast and the parts that were in his office
    that sat around a while after he had touched them would rust from his
    hand prints. This did not happen with the other engineers. Go figure!
    My very amateur thoughts were he may have had a high body acid
    content. Does anyone out there in orchid land have any expertise in
    the matter?
