Chrysoprasus

Looks like we're sure just in time for a party on the elements again, doesn't it. I have a sneaking suspicion that elements one through fourteen are what make up the earth, though I can't be for sure. It wouldn't appear otherwise, that much is certain. Knowing this raises a few other questions of various sorts such as whether the other elements are only variations of the first fourteen or are in some way materially different. If materially different then in which of the following ways. It really would be helpful to know because I don't see any other sources around for explaining the matter and then again perhaps on an integral level it's not really needed to know just as of yet. Chemically speaking the formula for chrysoprasus is Si02 with the two being a little lower than the oxygen meaning basically that the oxygen gets oxidized during the silica process. It's allowing for all other things to get mixed in at that point, but it's all a part of the natural movements of what happens with earth. Alright, first things first, you already know how to get silica melted down into it's basest of units. In nature, the stone takes on a greenish chalky hue with almost a clearer color of sorts. Reasons for this is due in large part to the base nature of the stone in combination with trace amounts of nickel alloy in very small amounts though the stones themselves are usually nearby a much larger payload of nickel. I'm sure some of you have seen nickels of course, that is if you're in certain parts of the country. Before you go asking, it's not purely nickel of course mainly for stability reasons. There's a good bit of copper already mixed in. Nickel itself starts out with under a sulfide base, which process you're already familiar with. Instead of though just stopping there with the solution as some would have already done, you'll take the crystallized sulfide and crush it down to a powder to make something that almost looks like a sludge. Sure, you'd probably be alright adding in some sort of water, though I think I'd stick with a small amount of its' own hosting solution. From there, you'll want to run a bit of electricity on through it, usually obtained by disconnecting a circuit. You'll want to hold the two disconnections into the solution at both times on the ends. Though you'll also want to take care that you're not touching the solution or the live wires. They'll burn you or eat up your clothes or your skin if you're planning on getting real close back on that up again. There's reasons why though the chrysoprasus has no natural affinity for it though it's mixed into the nickel. That's because nickel tends to have a higher charge and so sticks that much more closely together. The chrysoprasus then comes on down and gets mixed with the air which has oxidized as it's been heated all in a pot or basin of some sort at first. Remember, we've already seen the steps of this sort though not as smushed in already from there. When you add in nickel, though make sure it's in the tiniest amounts possible and even then it'll stick or fleck to the edge of the stones. Oh, and don't forget to watch out cause your nickel can and will very much stick to the edge of the pan given that other metals have what's termed a rather high affinity there for each other. Technically, it's a silica solution heated up in the water that then provides the oxidized piece that comes from the movement in and around the much larger deposits of nickel that also have been heated somewhat or just pretty much dissolved in solution. From there the question really becomes one of can you run the electricity through in one step together or are you better off separating the two? One or two things of the last before you go really, is that heating up the nickel solution on very high heat results in all of it being poured out from which you can take it and make it right into a sheet. You can also do this in a much larger vessel like that of the clay that you plan on taking off later. The clay should be somewhat hard though as if baked in a furnace, cause if not the sulfur solution will just end up eating off of itself. If you planned on rolling it out into sheets, you'll need to take care that your solution was also mixed with the air. Back to the issue of sheets though, it's always a good idea to allow your metals to cool down a bit before attempting to start shaping them down with a hammer. You know, into the desired shape of a pot or a pan, whichever your choice. In case you haven't seen them before though, the solution will go dark in color and get solidified into one big chunk as you allow it to cool though the metal itself is well, somewhat metallic of course.
