Hello,

I think my question sound slightly stupid (there is obviously some plated gold in the first picture :oops: ).

If by chance some of you have already dealt with these chips,
could you tell me wether OTHER precious metal are present ?

thank you in advance

The ceramic layers are held together with glass. By heating them to about 700-800F and then quenching them in water, the glass with shatter and the layers will separate. Try this with one piece at a time until you find the right temperature. Try to not heat them hotter than necessary. I used an electric box furnace when I did them.
