Gold flakes in vials

[kssurplus]

Can I disolve those flakes in AP solution to turn to a powder to then melt them into a nugget ?
Some time ago I bought quite a few of these before I had more sense.

There is a good chance you will end up with a copper nugget.

Well can't I disolve in auric chloride?

 

[jimdoc]

You can dissolve it, then test with stannous. It probably isn't gold.
Especially if you bought it on Ebay.

Your probably right to live and learn as a newbie.
But for now I am attacking my piles of old computers and board fingers etc.
I finally got up the nerve to begin stripping fingers per Mr. Steve's dvd.

If you follow Steve's instructions you should get it right, just take your time and do it safely.

Gold at less that $25.00 per troy ounce? Doesn't the common sense have to kick on at this point?
The seller even states; "This is premium gold flake, not the junk sold by others on e-bay".

I've got 10 rolls of gold embossing foils I'm going crush up and sell on ebay.
I am going to state its not karat but coloured. I'll state many things you could do with it and how beautiful it looks but I will be very honest and sell it for watch it's actually worth - just to see what happens.

That one is the worst of the worst. I just sent the seller this email:

Are you saying that there's 100 grams of gold in that bag and the purity of that gold ranges from 22K to 24K. Or, are you saying that there is 100 grams of fake gold that has the color of 22-24K gold.
