Ideally homemade CS should be crystal clear. At 10 – 15 ppm there is no way it should be yellowish or brown. Those are agglomerated particles or impurities. Nothing should plate out unless you leave the silver in a hot climate or directly in the sun. CS should never be made in leaded glass. The only ingredients should be .999 or better silver and distilled water.

LOL...I've been busting those fluorescent lights in my bin to close the lid for years, and I ain't dead yet. EIS...That's my indication that no matter how yellow it goes, and remains perfectly transparent with no mud collecting on the bottom of the vessel, that's good enough for me. It's still better than getting it from a shop anyway. (my opinion of course). For me, the yellow it gets, the stronger the solution is with agglomeration of ions, like a bunch of grapes is my way of looking at it, more particle content by ratio of single grapes to ions in a bunch of grapes. I'm not educated on Chemistry or Physics blah blah, I don't need to be really, simplicity works for me <g>. I made up some many ago (while I was learning about this stuff) and it turned 'tea' coloured, almost black, within hours or days, still no mud, but the storage vessel got plenty of plateout. But, I made it in a crystal jug that time and think the lead in the crystal might have come into play. I still have some left in the cupboard and I still ingest and/or use it topically if I feel it necessary.

Your mention of yellowish made me think of something that happened several years ago. I put out a bowl of CS, in a white bowl, for my dog. A few minutes later, the crystal clear fluid had turned a dark yellow. The only thing I could figure out is, the CS was exposed to the sun, nothing else and it was interesting to see. Learning the hard way is not my style. I know of a person (not me), who tried to put a long fluorescent bulb into a trash can, and since it was too long, they smashed the bulb to make it fit. The following small explosion scared the person so much, they feared for their eyes and lungs. Jean --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
