    I just started looking at your group and it is great! 
    I need some help , I am working on a series of pieces for my
    employer in 22K and now 24K.  We are attempting to raise up the
    crystal surface on the gold.  I saw in an e-mail from your archives
    about electrostripping, but have not yet bought the equipment.  Have
    tried Aqua Regia, burnt my throat due to poor safety habits on my
    part and was not impressed with the results too pale and sort of
    matted.  We need this surface to be bright and strong!  Does anyone
    know if the electrostripping will give me really bright strong
    crystals?  I know that their size depends on the grain of the metal
    but little about how to really show them off.  Also, can one
    electroform over them to give them more 3-D surface?  Hope someone
    out there can help , my boss is getting a little impatient even
    though he has a heart of gold.  Thanks, Dennis in Asheville
