Tracy,

    Sterling casting grain consists of round pellets from about  1/8 to
    less than 1/16 inch in diameter. Most of the grain is round  but a
    few will have flat spots. The grain has a very smooth surface
    without any porosity. Your can see a picture of casting grain in Rio
    Grande's catalog. 

    When melting sterling grain it normally is mixed with old scrap
    silver.  The ration is usually 50 percent new to 50 percent old.

    I am an old folk music and country music fan. I recently bought a 12
    string banjo that is tuned like a guitar. I sure can make a lot of
    noise with it.
