That tarnish-cleaning method sounds great. I need to clean up all my jewelry too, and was looking for something simpler than what I was doing. This sounds great. Question: can this be used on jewelry with lapis, pearl, turquoise?

It works fine with pearls, and lapis. I don't know about turquoise though. But since most turquoise is stabilized, I doubt there would be a problem. The only issue I saw was with malachite. The chemical reaction seemed to slightly dull the polish on the stone when kept in the solution for longer than a minute or two. If it is kept at a very short time in the solution (30 seconds or less), it shouldn't cause any noticeable issues. Of all the stones I can think of, the only one I could see having a major problem would be coral.
No problem :) Thank you.
