Perhaps more H2O2 will make the CS go totally ionic with no TE..but that stuff is totally worthless to consume as it makes one foam at the mouth and tastes really NASTY!
I'll dump in some more peroxide and see what happens.

Ken: Assuming you didn't add excess H2O2, the peroxide you did add would
react with a specific proportion of metallic silver atoms present. Since the
surface to mass ratio is higher for small particles compared to large
particles, the smaller particles would disappear first, so that the average
particle size remaining would rise, following a highly skewed parabolic
curve. I believe the particle size distribution would get very narrow as
well. Finally, the largest particles would be all that's left and these would
begin to react with the remaining incremental additions of H2O2, producing
uniformly smaller particles until all particles disappeared. You could
probably follow developments using a laser by looking at the Tyndall effect.

I have a liter of CS that agglomerated to a pale violet color over a
months time. I put about 1 teaspoon of H2O2 in the bottle and it turned
back to colorless over night.
It has a fairly stong TE.
Perhaps H2O2 attacks the larger particles first?
Perhaps there is some other componant in the largest particles crystal
structure other than just silver that is more sensitive to H2O2?
