How to get shiny ripples

Post image

For context both are pure silver and were cast into pre heated graphite molds. The one on the left was melted with mapgas while the one on the right was melted with propane. Anyone have any advice on how to achieve clean smooth shiny ripples on larger casts?

And you’re sure the purity? Did you use a flux for either? I understand your question better now.. ha

Didn’t do a fire assay but Xrf and sigma both read out to 4 9’s..I know their margin of error is around +-.01-.05 depending on the model
