copper alloys in general have good colors
@VoxSomniator I kind of want to just get a little piece of beryllium copper stock just to have, but I dunno how it tarnishes
@Felthry Hmm, weird metal bits are cool to have. I found instructions for cleaning and stuff that say "a thin oxide layer forms over time" but that's terribly vague. I can't find pictures of any corroded beryllium copper anywhere though! It's chemically-resistant or something.

@Felthry aha, I did find a picture!
