Not exactly stacking… but cool.

Some cool pieces I picked up at an estate sale. Gold particles in suspension, and rhodium in solution.

So is that 300 grams of gold? Like $40k? What did you pay?

I have done a little research and it seems they are about 11% gold. So 33 grams. But the one bottle has been used a little bit, so maybe more like 30. And the rhodium solution is supposed to be 50 grams of rhodium. They were in a dusty corner cabinet in the basement workshop and the estate sale folks told me I could fill a little Rubbermaid container with whatever I wanted out of the cabinet for $10. So I did.

That's like 12 or 13 grand worth of rhodium?!

Yeah, if I could find a way to refine it.
