Re: gold chloride?

Thanks Judy, and Darryl.

I couldn't get a human being on the phone at Engelhard. Waiting on a
call back from them. Spoke to a gentlemen at Goldsmith who quoted me
$110 per gram! When I told him I could get it for $40, he said "oh,
you probably spoke to one of our distributors." Yikes. I'm hoping he
was confused, because that's a ripoff. I ended up purchasing a gram
from Artcraft Chemicals (http://www.artcraftchemicals.com) in
Schenectady, NY for $30. The one gentleman that always seems to
answer the phone is friendly and prompt. I like supporting small
businesses. Will be keeping my eyes open on Ebay and if anyone else
notices a good deal, lemme know.

Thanks,
Christine
