Artificial Gold
Sixteen parts of Virgin Platina and seven parts
Copper and one of Zinc. Put these in a crucible with powdered charcoal,
and melt them together till the whole forms a mass, and are thoroughly
incorporated together. This also makes a gold of extraordinary beauty
and value. It is not possible by any tests that chemists know of to
distinguish it from pure virgin gold. All I ask of men is to use it for
good and lawful purposes, for the knowledge that I here give you will
bring you a rich and permanent reward without using it for unlawful
purposes.
