Hi Noel,

    It's Jennifer not Charles. Why don't people use it?  I lot don't know
    about it and it isn't manufactured.  Therefore if you can't buy it
    already manufactured and milled, some people won't alloy their own
    metal. The best way to test  your alloy mix is to make up a small
    amount and try to fuse it.  If it doesn't fuse then the mixture was
    not pure enough. I really like the material and its ductility.  It
    has the weight of gold and color and maleability of silver. 

    Lots of jewelers and others put it down, mostly to ignorance.  But
    this metal was around during the Byzantine times and is older than
    s----.
