Hi guys im interested in the staining of krisses and i have braught a cheap one in need of restoration to experiment on.As it is not possible for me to obtain any arsenic trioxide witch seems to be a tried and tested method...i think it might be interesting to try some of the other forms of arsenic like realgar and orpiment both of witch can be obtained easily.I have read some past threads on the subject and in the case of Warangan...does anybody know what it actualy is [its scientific name]?i cant find any pictures of it ..all i have read is that it is pinkish in colour[orpiment is yellow and realgar is red]is it in fact realgar?
Does anybody have any pictures of warangan and have you tried any of the other methods and what degree of result did you have?
thanks smashy.

p.s all spelling is subject to the readers reality tunnel.
