if your sweating or possibly allergic
Pewter turns it black, Copper does turn your skin green though.
Actually, copper is what turns skin green. I have never personally had pewter turn my skin green but everyones skin PH balance is different.
Fake metal can turn your skin green this applis to gold and silver.
Probably b/c there's bit of copper in the metal. The copper is reacting with the sweat on your skin, creating a green stain.
Jewelry with a gold overlay can possibly turn your skin green. This is determined by if you have a skin allergy to the metal under the overlay.
The reason some costume jewelry turns skin green is because the outer plating has worn off and the copper alloy metal underneath is exposed. It is the copper in the metal that is turning your finger green.
No. What causes skin to turn green is when the metal is copper or mixed with copper.
While copper has been used to kill germs in some hospitals and even in your house pipes, copper can turn skin green. This is because it can oxidize on your skin. copper's patena is green, which you can see on copper roofing. that green color can rub off on your skin if say the metal was used for jewlery.
skin that blends in with green plants! :) (apex)
A witch costume for Halloween does not have to have a pointy nose and green skin, but it could. You can be creative and give her green skin and a fat nose.
because it is made of a cheaper metal such as copper or brass (which is mainly copper anyway) and copper reacts with acid in your sweat and tarnishes. the green stain on your skin is that tarnish rubbing off on it.
Pewter is a physically weighty metal alloy made from Lead and Tin (with trace quantities of Zinc and Nickel). To the touch it is naturally cool, and can be worked to feel very smooth. It also has an unusual (for metal) soft feel to it, almost like hard plasticine; you can gouge a fairly deep scratch in it with your fingernail for instance. It is a very pliable metal. Even at room temperature you can bend a relatively thick piece of Pewter with just your hands. Pieces up to around 6mm thick can be torn like paper by a person of average strength, in which respect it is much the same as Lead. It should be noted that some people are naturally mildly allergic to Pewter, and, while allergic reactions of any kind vary from person to person, the typical reaction to Pewter is that of small redened patches of skin and itching in the place that was in contact with the metal. I include this note only because some jewelery is made from Pewter. It is no more likely to cause a reaction than silver or gold, but as with any allergy, all individuals are different.
