Adventures with Gallium Part III

Adventures with Gallium Part III

My followers know that I like to throw in random experiments once in a while. Here is Adventures with Gallium Part II:

In Part I, I had NO idea what I was doing, and infamously tried to make a ring mold out of peanut butter : https://steemit.com/story/@goldmatters/adventures-with-gallium-making-a-silver-ring-partialfail

This time around, I was better prepared:

I got out the same Gallium I had melted, frozen, remelted and frozen again.

Sitting at room temperature it looked like this:

I delicately and precisely poured the Gallium in the ring mold with the strictest of measurements:

And ended up with the ring filled with Gallium:

I put it in the freezer next to the ... CHICKEN ENCHILADES??? The SAME chicken enchilades in Adventures with Gallium Part II???

In a panic I tried to pull the plug ( terminator reference ) and immediately speed dialed Door Dash.

See me and Door Dash have this thing:

After Door Dash saved me from the Chicken Enchilada debacle I check on my Gallium ring:

Not only did I get a nice Gallium ring:

I also got a random silvery blob:

Putting aside the silvery blob for now, I focused on the ring:

I decided to see how much I could humiliate my 42% Not Gold ring . Read about my 42% (14k) ring here: https://steemit.com/mene24k/@goldmatters/mene-24-karat-gold-ring-vs-the-other-guys-gold-jewelry-battle

I threw it on the scale:

Pathetic.

Even a Gallium ring weighs more:

For that matter even a Gallium blob weighed more:

Goldmatters Jr. wouldn’t even pose with the 42% Not Gold ring :

Reluctantly I said goodbye to my Gallium ring:

It melted away into emo nothingness:

Until nothing was left but a silver smear:

I got kind of freaked out that this would happen:

So I took a quick photo before disposing of the rest of the ring:

Thank you for joining me for another edition of Adventures with Gallium!
