7 Day silver cell run why is the silver not so shiny? Greyish

[ModernAlchemy]

Hi Gentleman,
Can you please help me find an explanation to this discoloration of my silver from my latest run. The only thing I did differently was stop the cell and cover the silver crystals in the bowl for 2 days. take a look at the pic... The bowl on the left is from a previous run where its nice and shiny. The bowl on the right not so much. Is it still .999? Can I do something to get the shiny luster back? I knew I shouldnt of left it but I had to ASAP call for work and was not able to wash it and do all the needed work that follows until I got back home.




Thanks in advance for your answers and help..

I think the chances are that your electrolyte dissolved some of the sitting silver crystals , you could put the crystals back in the cell and run it for a while to see if the crystals look more shiny.
