Liver of sulfer (sulphur) wiki:

Sulfurated potash is a poorly defined mixture of potassium sulfide, potassium polysulfide, potassium thiosulfate, and probably potassium bisulfide. Synonyms include hepar sulfuris, liver of sulfur, and sulfurated potassa.

Liver of sulfur is mainly used in metalworking to form a patina, turning copper alloys brown or black.

Typically liver of sulfur comes in a dry rock form which must be broken into smaller pieces and dissolved in hot water for use.

Here's the "stuff", it's mixed with water and the result varies with ratio of compound to water, temperature of water, and duration of apllication.
