Brass is an alloy or copper and zinc, which will naturally tarnish when exposed to oxygen. Oils from your skin in addition to oxygen in the air accelerate tarnishing on brass. Generally, brass corrodes when the zinc, copper and tin components of brass alloy are exposed to water.

This coating usually flakes off and can be removed to reveal the shiny brass surface. Size: Φ34mm // Φ1.37 inchesMaterial: Brass metalMade in Japan
