    I've noticed, on some silver jewelry I've polished for customers,
    that some jewelers just leave firescale on their pieces and simply
    don't worry about it. 

    And while firescale is a major PIA, I can understand leaving it
    there since, unless silver jewelry is highly polished, one cannot see
    firescale anyway. 

    I had a friend who was learning how to make jewelry and she asked
    what firescale was because she'd never seen it. Turns out she was
    using tripoli but not rouge and so never had her pieces shiny enough
    to spot it.
