Liver of sulfur is a chemical compound primarily consisting of potassium sulfide (K₂S) along with a mix of other sulfur-containing compounds. It has been historically used in various applications, particularly in metalworking and jewelry making. When heated or mixed with water, liver of sulfur produces a solution that can create a patina on metals, particularly silver, giving them an attractive dark finish known as oxidation.
