    Guilt ridden I am - I recently read "The price of Gold" an older
    article published by Ganoksin. 

    http://www.ganoksin.com/borisat/nenam/the-price-of-gold.htm 

    I am a environmentally conscious person and now I am feeling major
    conflict over the work I sell. This is coming at such a bad time - I
    have been working for years to be financial independant and now that
    I have finally reached the goal of living off my work, I am having
    this conflict. I can't afford to revert to just selling silver and
    continue to be self employed. Is there a casting company that uses
    only scrap and reclaimed gold? Right now I use Billanti. Perhaps
    another option would be for me to bite the bullet and simply bring my
    casting in-house. In such a case, is there a reliable source for
    casting grain that comes ONLY from reclaimed scrap gold? 

Thank you
