Thanks for feedback mr Dave.
Actually the gold was melted down using butane torch and crucible with borax as flux. After finish melting i put hot gold button into nitric acid solution.
I think it was mercury..i already melt down so many times, cooked my gold button in nitric acid...and it still there! Last night after searching internet i realize it was mercury. Its covered all my gold dust with white metallic colour in small quantity and now contaminate 4.5g gold button. What should i do to remove it? I already use sand paper and it still the same.
Thank you
