    @stevex6 theyre really not crusty kinda rough but smooth. Blue/green. When I first got it I thought oh no not the BD. After looking through a loupe I knew it wasn't. I put a little verdicare on it, didn't change a bit.

    Here's an Aurelian Tet I got some time back. It did have a little BD but after treating its stayed away.

    It even has some red deposits on it.

    Very cool patina @Theodosius ! Maybe some silvering going on?
