Nice marble, Larry! It seems odd to me that it's not orange/pink, though. Are you sure there wasn't any silver on your fuming rod or anything like that?
Hey gmkcpa, it doesn't matter glass-wise how the metal is annealed, but for ease of cutting pieces dead soft is nice.
Rio Grande is a good metal supplier. You might pay a bit more buying it in a shape like wire, though because the processing usually adds a small premium. Ingots or raw river gold pebbles are the most economical in my experience, because you're just paying for the weight.
