TJ, congratulations on your pours after converting oil to gold. Fortunately, there is lots of oil, so you should be able to keep going. These words are an oil salesman's dream: <pics of second pour just in, one week's worth of diligence, of digging, trucking, crushing, milling, floating, melting, pouring, and weighing. > Drums and drums and tankers of fuels and lubricants. And all that iron is also made of oil in a similar mining and production processes and then more complex work to form it into jaw crushers, truck chassis, excavator buckets, nuts and bolts.
That bottom photo has the shape of a Samsung Cyberphone, but not so gorgeous. The dore looks nice and silvery but would be too heavy and not strong enough to make into a Cyberphone. Inside the Samsung SIII is some square silicon, Made by Qualcomm. It's more valuable than gold. And it does a lot more too.
