Noel,

    I am Stephen Wyrick in San Antonio, Texas I have been working on a
    Very Special Chalice constructed of Alloyed Silver and 22 Kt. Green
    Gold. As to the Silver: 95% Pure Silver, 1% Platinum,2% Ruthenium,
    2% Palladium. I use a Hydrogen Gas for the melts. This gives a very
    nice ritch colour and keeps the tarnish down. 

Just a note about the metals.
