Made colloidal gold by accident.

[Shellmichelleo]

After using nitric acid boils to remove copper and other metals I started rinsing in distilled water alternating rinsing in hydrochloric acid. During these rinses the water started turning purple. Now I have a jug of purple water. The purple sticks to the sides and bottom of any vessel you put it in. I think it’s colloidal gold any ideas on how to fix this

An old post, but perhaps worth reading.
