Sulphur and stains
When we visited Dominica we had the chance of entering a natural spa pool. After we had spent a few minutes in the water the guide looked at me with a bit of panic in his eyes and told me that the sulphur content in the water was high and that the sulphur had reacted with the silver in my necklace.

Re: Sulphur and stains
I had a similar scare with my silver necklace and earrings in a hot spring in Guatemala. The necklace cleaned easily, but the nooks and crannies in the earrings took a bit of effort. On this occasion we had been warned about not wearing white t-shirts, and we had a bit of fun spotting the people whose grey hair had turned yellow :)
