Ankhenaten Lab Information Note - Assays.
ASC Octave-1 Bread of Aten CONCLUSIONS
Ankhenaten Labs has recently been performing a few Assays, spefically associated with determining more about White Powder of Gold products. We were fortunate to find an individual who has helped us immensely in funding a few of these assays. To him we are grateful.
In this section we at Ankhenaten Lab hope to add a small bit of light to the subject of Assaying ORMUS, including any assays we can find relating to the subject.
Ascension Alchemy's Octave-1 was chosen. ASC is by far the most well known of the WPG Product Suppliers.
This product assays as pure SiO2, with no trace-elements or anything else at all. This seems quite unusual, and either totally inconsistent with expectations, or completely consistent with them. If it truly *is* a pure Gold based product, then clearly the Gold is not assaying at all. Yet too, where are the normal trace elements from processing that would be virtually impossible to eliminate?
Our own Bread of Aten White Powder Gold product, extracted from early batches of the Essence of Amen wet Precipitate and annealed, was tested.
Ankhenatan Lab Bread of Aten Assay
Notice, here too again the product is almost pure SiO2, and yet there are the trace elements one would expect. This confirms nothing, so we had the sample dissolved in HF and reanalyzed using another method specifically for Si. It reported as 60% SiO2, with suspicion of the remaining portion being water of hydration.
So - what do we know then? Not much. -- Either Gold in this form truly analyzes as SiO2, which I find odd, or the early batches of my gold conversions were predominantly SiO2 hydrated silica precipitations. Of course, if the latter, then ASC's material is likely just as it Assays - fumed silica. For the moment I am suspecting that the complex acid based processes associated with the Gold conversion does leach SiO2 from the glassware, and that the ASC material is pure fumed silica. -- Much has changed in my process since this batch was prepared many months ago. Later batches of precipitate seem to form a dark-gray powder form, rather than the pure white as this batch. I had ceased to offer the Bread of Aten as a product upon finding that the pure white form of the powder was very difficult indeed -- it may be in fact be that I've stopped my glass leaching problem. And it may be that this newer result - a dark gray powder, pre-annealed, is the correct product. Of course, now I will need to enhance the anneal process, as a 300'C anneal does not change the dark-gray powder in any noticible way. So, at Ankhenaten Lab, we are working on the anneal process now, and for the S-ORME form of gold - the search continues.
