I have earned the respect of a jeweler in town and he gifted me half a gram of local gold nuggets. He has done two custom rings for my wife and repairs too and i have given him a few pipes as tips. I got into the gold immediately to see what it does and these are initial test pieces. Looks like it has a lot of silver in it givng it a white look, it looks silvery on the punty too. As i applied more fire to the fume nug the gold came out more "goldy", pendy on the right. Using a bigger flame to fume on the marble it came out super cool, the side nearest the light source shines greenish and the opposite side is purple. I have not seen that effect before and I'm looking forward to exploring that in more detail and on some bigger pieces. This river gold is much different than the 22K wire and .9999 chip that i have, neat stuff, I gotta find more before too long. I'm really getting into the gold fume lately, i love it.
