Back in August 2004 while trying to find a safe alternative to making G-ORME I had managed to produce 2 samples of large gold clusters that apparently had the capacity to respond to a strong magnet.

Ever since I had chanced upon these results I have maintained a container of fine gold fallout that tends to equal about 10mg for every large batch of colloidal gold as the result of small thermal difference between the water temperature and the electrode hardware.

As I did not have safe facilities to store or use the strong acids that are prescribed for most G-ORME methods I opted to find another way that entails the use of commonly available chemicals and materials that are generally safe to use in the non-lab environment.

The basic tools and materials that seemed to stick:

1. Colloidal Gold -heck, I have bunches of it, and the gold is in such fine particles I just have to find a way to use this in helping produce a G-ORME.

2. Hydrogen Peroxide - It is very available and quite powerful yet safe enough once the hazards are understood.

3. NaCl - Table salt, cheap, available basically safe right?

4. Water - (no need for explanation)

5. Vinegar - This is a mild acid, cheap, available and possibly useful.

Ok, enough introduction... on with the interesting stuff!

This first video shows the response to a magnetic field by a gold particulate in a few drops of water, on a glass slide as it is moved over a set of 4 small round (rather strong) neodymium magnets.

As you can see, the reaction to a magnetic field is not typical of gold.

To further illustrate this property of magnetic response I offer the same sample after it is dried and sealed in a 4mm glass tube then acted upon by a long stack of round neodymium magnets.

This gold powder was the product of my first sample.

Considering that the first sample was the product of regular experiments into gold digestion and alternate g-orme production I failed to document the steps that led up to the results other than the crude form of dried salt crystals prior to heat treating.

Even though I have spent many hours chipping away at this application over the past year or so I feel it is important to point out that I am nearly clueless as to why this simple process that I am about to detail for you can cause the effects that are being demonstrated.

I am certain that we all have theory as to why... as do I myself however the question still remains.

What would cause this specific type of magnetic response to effect mere gold particulate?
