tarnished silver is the best, even better than gold.


The tarnish doesn't do anything good. On a relative scale, silver is
250, copper 225, as is gold. Aluminum is 175. Stainless is about like
lead, 6 or 8. Plain carbon steel is 25. Thermal conductivity is
closely correlated with electrical conductativity for what that is
worth. Better at one is generally better at the other.
