SIM – Plate 32a
Plate 32, Fig. 60, 1% Gold chloride and 1% Silver nitrate, equal quantities mixed: This experiment does not look specially beautiful; there is no characteristic form (unless we take the dark shape in the centre lower part, as a kind of inverted arc) compared with the experiment of Silver nitrate and Gold chloride in the previous series. A fine wavy line indicates the end of this form. The colours in themselves are quite beautiful, light and dark mauve; there is even a slight indication of yellow on the top. But the colours run into each other and form a chaotic mixture; they are blurred and show a tendency to deteriorate quickly. We certainly would not call this an especially beautiful result.
