Giannis vs Polinik on the color of bronze :)
#35
To make matter worse:

A friend of mine (mining engineer) said that the composition of the ore extracted also affects metal color.

Copper ore from Larymna is very different from the Cypriot ore not to mention imported staff
Same applies to tin and zinc.

Ancient Greeks spoke of "oreichalkos". I am not awarw if any description for its composition comes from ancient source.
So I cannot be certain if only brass or only bronze is being defined by this word.

Kind regards
