Argentium Granules:

    Having just returned from Tucson and Catalog in Motion, I wanted to
    share some new information about granulating with Argentium. Rio
    Grande now carries Argentium granules. I had tried "homemade"
    granules made from Argentium wire. Not very successful. The granules
    did not want to hold their shape but would dissolve into the base.
    So, I would just use Fine Silver granules instead. After talking
    with the head engineer from Stern-Leach, I discovered that the reason
    the granules I made did not work. The Argentium granules Rio sells
    are made with a more pure formula (slightly higher fine silver
    content is my guess) and created in an inert atmosphere. They were
    FABULOUS! Cost wise they are less than the fine silver ones, but
    still expensive- $300/oz. And at this time, you can only buy an ounce
    at a time. Argentium ROCKS!!!
