Answer 1

Where are you getting the flake gold?  If it is real gold, it is worth at least whatever gold is worth.  I am worried you are getting circuit board scrapings from some scrap dealer who is passing it off as gold flakes.

Gold is very ductile and malleable, and can be drawn into fine wire or beaten so flat the light passes though it.  I am sure there are different ways to flake it, but is the seller is reputable, he or she should know where it comes from.

If the flake gold is real 24K gold, then it is worth at least whatever gold is worth, currently $874.30 / troy ounce, or $28.11 / gram.

If you are considering buying any quantity, you should by a small sample and have it assayed first.
