DFC in Canon City Colorado is where I order my crucibles. They have just about any kind of crucible you would want in the smaller sizes 15 gram, 30 gram. These are clay crucibles and you can easily melt gold or silver in them. I use them to run assays and to melt gold down into large buttons. You can use an acetelyne torch and melt it in the crucible with a little borax that you can get at any welding shop or chemical place or you can cover with borax and place it into a small furnace at about 1,900 degrees farenheit and it will do the job. I sometimes refine gold to a fine powder and it melts great using these crucibles.

The address is:

Dfc Ceramics Incorporated,

515 S. 9th st.

Canon City Colo.81212-4900

719-275-7525

Good Luck,

Adrian
