I have my late grandpa’s silver spoon attached to my fridge with a neodymium magnet. What kind of chemical reaction causes that discolouration?

    That is a surprisingly not blue tarnish, if its supposed to explain what OP is showing us, if it makes a point, please help me comprehend.

    I do see that the light has mostly obscured a small band of blue so maybe its at a really neat phase of tarnish, but that’s speculation and this photo provides no evidence that is actually the case. Either way, I really dont think the tarnish article goes far to actually explain the blue aside from describing the mechanism.
