You have read the previous posts, it probably is silver sulfide. I would recommend cleaning it off with silver polish, rinsing perhaps with alcohol as well as water, and coating the ends of the teflon tubes with clear nail polish, etc to keep the air from getting to the silver. Dr. Van den Hul recommended this on his cables, because the space between the insulation' breathes'
with changing temperatures in the room. Q dope is an alternative end cap material.
