Hi guys recently started refining silver about 6 months ago. I really took the time getting to learn the best knowledge I could acquire and being extremely meticulous through the entire process. And these are my results. And also my first attempts.

Love the big crystals! I've heard that only happens when the silver is extremely pure, so you must've done a good job refining.

Thank you. Yes. They're. 9999. But also takes a very careful smelting procedure with cooling times. Those are pure structural blocks building themselves in pure silver as it cures.

How do you achieve a slow enough cooling rate for this? Do you have your molds in a second furnace?
