untarnished

Without any blemish

Untarnished means not dulled, stained, or diminished.

Metal that is untarnished retains its original shine, free from oxidation or corrosion.

The word appears most often figuratively: an untarnished reputation, an untarnished legacy, an untarnished record.

Something untarnished has remained pure or unspoiled despite time or circumstances.
