You can probably create something similar for about 10 cents a pound in a
good furnace. Notice that each main piece weighed about 48 kilograms, about
the same size that could be produced in a small crucible. Heck, at $1.00 to
$3.00 a gram this spells a tidy profit because production cost would be less
than 1 cent per gram. Maybe somebody with access to a furnace should produce
some more. At this margin I would certainly invest.

All the best,

Adam
