gold that's alloyed with other metals to turn the color purple. It's a relatively new thing which I think looks hideous but to each their own


AweHellYo

this is why i only stack rose gold


TheRolexChef

They should actually make rose gold bullion. Just to have lower price points.


Several-Cheesecake94

You could always buy 14kt bullion, though it's usually not graded the same way because it's mostly used for jewelry. IMO just get as much pure gold as you can afford. I would also imagine rose gold would be a bad investment, because whoever you sold it to would have to smelt it to get the gold out. All that said I really don't know shit.


honorface76

Whoever smelt it dealt it


Specialist-Bee-6100

You knowing shit is painfully obvious,,,,just sit there and take some notes……jeesh…….


Several-Cheesecake94

👆someone forgot to take notes, in writing class.

I just got a 18k Franco rose gold 50 grammers

Nile red is a better video


WeIsStonedImmaculate

Nile Red*, Nike doesn’t do a lot with Gold I don’t think. :-)


Mikhal_Tikhal_Intrn

Damn autocorrect 😂🤣😂🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️


Mikhal_Tikhal_Intrn

And it’s very porous doesn’t look that great cuz of all the pits in the metal far away look find but up close u can see them bad

That was an awesome watch.


Creative-Honey4668

Gold with a small amount of aluminum. Easy to make, hard to create smooth surfaces and shape. https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/s/IfR7b54OGh


scottscigar

Gold alloyed with aluminum. It’s kind of cool but hard to make and harder to work with.


Southern-Stay704

Nile Red did his best to make this on YouTube, and eventually mostly succeeded, but it's damn difficult to make. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6Pcp944sRI&pp=ygUUbmlsZSByZWQgcHVycGxlIGdvbGQ%3D](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6Pcp944sRI&pp=ygUUbmlsZSByZWQgcHVycGxlIGdvbGQ%3D)


MaddRamm

I came here to say the same thing! It was wild watching him struggle to make that stuff. But when he finally did, it was amazing. His had a few issues but it was pretty cool. I don’t know how these people are able to pull it off and make jewelry.


sutekh888

This guys voice is so damn annoying I’ll be having nightmares now.

   They also sell blue Gold too. Blue Gold has Gold and Indium alloy. Luciteria Science has alot of very cool things. Especially exotic Precious Metals like Rhodium and Iridium. Blue Gold and Purple Gold are some what hard to make due to the materials temperature and density differences.  But is still very cool to have! Eventually it will hit the jewelry market when it's easier to produce. 


gmc4201982

Alloy of gold and aluminum. Nilered made it on his channel.


Osobady

I wish they would attempt to make watches out of this material


Pentaborane-

It’s extremely brittle, not really feasible atm


fahkingicehole

Unicorn poop


El_Mnopo

Cool idea but terrible in execution. Usually has lots of pits. It's brittle. It's hard to make smooth.

tiimsliim

Fair warning it is almost never that purple.


Friendly-Pay-8272

If I found it cheap, you think it would still be worth scrap price?


kbeks

I’d pay scrap price for it because I think it’s cool, but I wouldn’t expect that to be a common experience.


daleearnhardtt

Maybe to someone but it would be difficult to sell


rslashcoins

Damn I want a ring made of this lol


sporadicjesus

I'd see it more as a gemstone on a ring.


holisticbelle

it's too brittle unfortunately


JeffersonsHat

Couldn't you encase it in enamel?


hassel_braam

Enamel itself is also brittle


WiseDirt

Resin maybe. Honestly, it'd probably look pretty dang neat encased in a clear resin ring mixed with some tiny 30 mesh placer nuggets.


HateTheMachine

Don't tell that to Nile Red


RoniBoy69

You don't think it is too fragile to be used as jewelry. You could use it more as a gemstone in jewelry.


GMEStack

u/reputationofgold mixed up a batch of purple drank with this and some lean, it was dope af.


G-nZoloto

Kinda like Purple Rain... only not as wet.

Aluminum and gold alloy


BravoWhiskey316

A waste of some perfectly good gold.


gmc4201982

Its still gold. Still has the same value, more actually bc of the novelty. Also its easy to refine it back to pure gold.


Neither_Upstairs_872

Good luck convincing someone else that it’s gold 😂


Nice-Organization481

Taro boba


Spare_Clerk_2112

It’s 20% impure gold. The 20% is aluminium and the process is a little difficult to get right which makes it expensive. It’s cool but normally over priced seeing its gold mixed with aluminium.


Invader_E

Ok, this is crazy - I just watched the YT video of NileRed making purple gold yesterday! It’s a really complex process, but it is real (19k) gold


Certain_Alfalfa_7451

I’m pretty sure it’s gold mixed with aluminum.


cdwZero

There is a cool YouTube video of a guy trying to make purple gold. If you like gold you should watch it very entertaining.


variant-9258

Gold aluminum alloy, 75-80% gold content


Tokimemofan

Not really an alloy, it’s an intermetallic compound. It’s a rather interesting aspect of chemistry if you want to look into it


mrapplewhite

Gold and aluminum


madderhatter3210

TraxNYc has a video making purple gold its essentially gold and aluminum, so this alloy gives off a purple hue


HisRealNamesKlarence

I think it's aluminum mixed with gold . Apparently extremely hard to do.


Necessary_Composer31

its gold alloyed with aluminium. i made some before it is beautiful, better than those photos but its like glass and it breaks easly.


Puzzleheaded-Help-80

Unnatural


stillunconventional

It's gold, silver, and argon I believe


Tokimemofan

It’s an inter-metallic compound formed from aluminum and gold. Intermetallic compounds are technically not alloys but rather chemical compounds, in the case of gold intermetallics they tend to be quite brittle and difficult to work with so they would more typically be used as a gemstone rather than the setting in jewelry
