[Jewelry making - Article 00551] - [Orchid] New source for ferric nitrate for etching silver

    Bryant Labs in Berkeley, where I used to get ferric nitrate for
    etching sterling or finesilver, has closed. While other sources for
    ferric nitrate have been posted here, there is a new Bay Area company
    supplying ferric nitrate and other chemicals for artists,
    www.artchemicals.com. Their office is in San Leandro near the Oakland
    airport, and they'll let you drop by and pick up your order to save
    the hazardous shipping fee, which is substantial. 

    The usual disclaimers...I have no financial relationship with them,
    etc. Even though they're a small business still getting started, they
    were very helpful and responsive when I placed an order. The staff is
    knowledgeable and friendly, and they are willing to post links on
    their website for customers who teach classes or give demonstrations
    of techniques that use their chemicals. I was really concerned when
    Bryant Labs shut down, but this new company is really promising.
