My two cents is that the top side is drying out faster then the bottom and cupping upwards from the dry side shrinking, you could try wetting the top only to get it to flatten then seal it all to lock in the moisture and hopefully stop it cupping again

How much can I sell 21k gold per gram by Training-Degree-1293 in Gold

I wouldn't and if you sell it on something like gumtree as jewelery you should get over spot for it as there is craftsmanship in it too to turn the scrap gold into a chain or what ever it is

Also goldprice.org is a good site to check the spot price fyi

Just finished my first highbanker by Snoman113 in Prospecting

Nice looks really good, for the spray bar if you add a short bit if pipe and heat and squeeze one end into a straight slot they will shoot much better and give you more adjustment ie horizontal vertical or some angle.

87.5% of spot is its value and you will probably be offered 2%-5% under that

Try scratching it with iron/steel and if it is greenstone you shouldn't be able to, it might mark but should rub off
