Hello and thanks for looking. I am refining another batch of karat gold jewelry and decided to throw in some white gold mixed in with yellow gold. I am heating the Aqua Regia like normal, but white metal flakes are floating around and will not dissolve. The bulk of the white gold jewelry is dissolving, but the coating just will not go away. What would this metal be and is it worth saving? Is it rhodium? If so, how do you dissolve it and can it be refined also?
Well.... Anything you can tell me would be great, and in the mean time I will just go about the process as normal, filtering as I go. Thanx!
