If five people (the first being simeon) who have either ORME's, WG and/or EG
would be willing to part with 15 grams of their material, I will establish
agreements with three independent laboratories. These laboratories will be
"main stream," with at least two being accredited universities. I would
require that the five people send five grams of their material directly to
each of these laboratories. It goes without saying, that I will post the
laboratories on the forums prior to the start of this experiment.

now my reply

I'm in the last two stages deriving white powder (vacuum dry,
annealing and then vacuum dry) Since I'm getting equipment as long as
I obtain results, this can take some time now (buying the equipment,
shipping, etc). I'm offering some material, but not 15 gr. Notice
that the amount of powder you get is 50mg (if you have a 100%
conversion) To obtain 15 gr of pure powder you need at least 15 gr of
gold, now 3 pennyweights (1.5gr x 3) cost approximately $80, so you
see why I can't give you 15 gr. I can offer some amounts though. Well
let's see if I can get it first, but keep me in your list.
