Adventures with Gallium Part III
My followers know that I like to throw in random experiments once in a while. Here is Adventures with Gallium Part II:
@goldmatters/adventures-with-gallium-part-ii-making-a-post-1964-silver-coin
In Part I, I had NO idea what I was doing, and infamously tried to make a ring mold out of peanut butter : @goldmatters/adventures-with-gallium-making-a-silver-ring-partialfail
This time around, I was better prepared:
I got out the same Gallium I had melted, frozen, remelted and frozen again.
Sitting at room temperature it looked like this:
I delicately and precisely poured the Gallium in the ring mold with the strictest of measurements:
And ended up with the ring filled with Gallium:
I put it in the freezer next to the ... CHICKEN ENCHILADES??? The SAME chicken enchilades in Adventures with Gallium Part II???
In a panic I tried to pull the plug ( terminator reference ) and immediately speed dialed Door Dash.
See me and Door Dash have this thing:
After Door Dash saved me from the Chicken Enchilada debacle I check on my Gallium ring:
Not only did I get a nice Gallium ring:
I also got a random silvery blob:
Putting aside the silvery blob for now, I focused on the ring:
I decided to see how much I could humiliate my 42% Not Gold ring . Read about my 42% (14k) ring here: @goldmatters/mene-24-karat-gold-ring-vs-the-other-guys-gold-jewelry-battle
I threw it on the scale:
Pathetic.
Even a Gallium ring weighs more:
For that matter even a Gallium blob weighed more:
Goldmatters Jr. wouldn’t even pose with the 42% Not Gold ring :
Reluctantly I said goodbye to my Gallium ring:
It melted away into emo nothingness:
Until nothing was left but a silver smear:
I got kind of freaked out that this would happen:
So I took a quick photo before disposing of the rest of the ring:
Thank you for joining me for another edition of Adventures with Gallium!
Remember to avoid 42% Not Gold rings, and instead buy Menē 24k :)
