Was working down some gold and shooting pics.

Kind of cool.

WOW! Can we mix it into some clear coat for metal flake? Sure looks fine enough. That's a lot of tiny stuff Doc!

I'm wondering if the 200 mesh gold is a purrer content . I would still think , that there would be some other minerals in it .

Finer gold "tends" to be more pure since the other materials are more exposed to the environment where they oxidize out, etc. that -200 stuff is probably 22karat or better.
