    It's pretty but IMO it looks like it was polished.

    Environmental damage. All toning is environmental damage. It is due to the metals reaction to curtain chemicals. Is it pretty? Yeah sometime toning can be.
    Does it add value? In most cases it does not.
    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the uninformed.

    Looks nice but it's been polished after being environmentally toned.
