â–  Why does silver turn black? Because it wants to change back to "real body"...

There is a lot of hydrogen sulfide or sulfur ions in the air. Only a very small amount of "sulfur" is needed to contact with silver, and an oxidation reaction occurs, which restores the original state of silver. The silver mine is black, and the part of the silver that is exposed to "sulfur" will naturally turn black.

Metallic silver + "sulphur" in the air = silver ore, black silver ore
