I lost my maratac copper light while out with my lady friend. Some wee snot at the club has a nicely tarnished Cu maratac. On the plus side I bought two! So I have a brand new one in the packet to play with all over again!

2 months of keychain carry on my Vinh modded CU AAA Rev 2 XP-G2 Neutral :twothumbs I added the ball bearing fishing swivel and monkey's fist.

Love this light! Love it even more now that I own a couple standard Maratac AAAs...

Mine, now several months old. Excuse the slight blur, I have the truck engine running and I'm not getting out 'cos it's freezing

My father was a fan of Antiques Roadshow. His favorite episode was a guy who brought in an old Art Deco copper lamp. To prepare for the show, the guy polished it - got it bright and gleaming. When he asked how much it was worth, they told him $200 in its current condition. But it would have been worth $50,000 if he hadn't polished it and ruined the patina.

I polished my AA Cu to watch it tarnish again, but the patina is different this time. Not sure if it's because it finally got warmer buy it's definitely a more golden color this time around.

Exactly the same happened to me, after i cleaned my tri-edc with toothpaste. When the copper comes out from the lathe is extremely reactive. It became black in 3 weeks. After the cleaning the tarnish is slower to build up and it's going more towards green...

Just do a search, for example copper sphere.

My first gen AAA tarnishes like most of the ones shown here, but the second gen tarnishes somewhat differently:

I thought about cleaning my mine, but I've decided it looks more realistic like copper just to leave it tarnished.
