it cant be that simple, can it? there is a HUGE diffrence in the density of
silicates and iron. how would you get a heterogenious mix of the two? it's
not like you can just pour 50 kgs of iron into a crucible and stir it with a
spoon - unless your spoon is made of tungsten and you are wearing an
aluminized fireretardent suit i guess :)

You can probably create something similar for about 10 cents a pound in a
good furnace. Notice that each main piece weighed about 48 kilograms,
about
the same size that could be produced in a small crucible. Heck, at $1.00
to
$3.00 a gram this spells a tidy profit because production cost would be
less
than 1 cent per gram. Maybe somebody with access to a furnace should
produce
some more. At this margin I would certainly invest.
All the best,
Adam
