Alternate Uses for Colloidal Gold

It's just beautiful! There is nothing like the look of gold and the colors that are possible using gold to stain various works of art, metals, glassware and who knows what? One would be hard pressed to locate true gold stained red glassware today. Alternatives to pure gold as a glass stain have replaced this once vibrant colorant process which was essentially colloidal gold. If you want to know what that glass might have looked like, all you need to do is examine our product. It looks much the same though slightly more pink or orange than the bright reds that were once achieved in the art of glass coloration with gold.
Here is a time lapse movie (click picture below) of colloidal gold being made. 30min.wmv (windows media file) 2.1 megs.

The light saturation shows the translucence of a dark batch very nicely. |

Here, an unstirred batch of CG shows the contrast between dense and lighter layers. |
The orange in the early stages of production is reflected here quite well from the angle of the light. |

Yes, CG can turn out purple when the particles of gold are larger. |
