<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1821235, member: 15199&quot;]Doug you got the gist of what I said, but there is a needed separation of naturally perceived coloration of metals ( even on the quantum level) and toning which I would define as non-relativistic ( non- quantum) action of surface bonding of contaminant elements. The red mentioned in my rambling was a quantum or nano-particle association of gold, which occurs by statistical ( random) nature, and although not mentioned can change or even disappear accordingly ( quantum events can not generally be predicted), so I would not call it gold toning ( as in silver, and copper toning). None of us may live long enough to see such red appearing on our .999 gold, but also none of us may live to see any red disappear either.&nbsp; I accept that gold can naturally change color, but not that it &#039;tones&#039; as per my idea of such . I know it may not make much sense on the surface , and I may well be wrong , but that is how I interpret it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
