Jim Miller - The Gold Standard!

The center point is was knapped from Amethyst and Sage Agate From Nevada. The duplicates were made by the lost wax casting process. The gold point is cast mainly from gold that I have mined over the years, plus some jewelry scrap gold. The gold point weighs 131.6 grams, which is about 4.23 troy ounces. The gold is probably about 18 karat, which means that it contains about 3.17 ounces of pure gold. At today’s gold price, the gold content alone is worth a little over $4,000. The silver duplicate is cast out of sterling silver. The weight difference between the gold and silver is quite noticeable, because of the specific gravity difference between gold and silver. Pure gold is nearly twice as dense as silver. The silver duplicate weighs about 75 grams, which is about 2.4 troy ounces of pure silver. The one on the left is gold, on the right is silver!
