After processing gold finger, with classic method, look what happened to the gold powder after final wash with nitric acid:
before
after
now is floating in beaker (from white is becoming grey), and i'm trying to redissolve in aqua regia, but is very hard to dissolve.
White cementified metal is not dissolved in hcl, nitric, ammonia and organic solvent.
Is possible that gold can become like this sometimes?
