    AI Overview
    A 9 Fire Assay Cupel is a specialized, porous crucible, often made of magnesium oxide or bone ash, used to separate precious metals (gold/silver) from base metals (like lead) during fire assaying. These cupels absorb base metal oxides while retaining the molten, noble metal bead (prill) at high temperatures, typically 1650-1700°F. 
    Key Features and Applications: 
    • Material: Primarily magnesium oxide (
      MgOcap M g cap O
      𝑀𝑔𝑂
      ), designed for high absorption capacity and structural integrity under heat.
    • Process: Used in the cupellation process to remove impurities from gold and silver, often in mining, refining, and jewelry valuation.
    • Advantages: Modern cupels like Calmix are designed to not require initial drying, have low cracking rates, and offer high absorption capacity compared to traditional bone ash.
    • Size/Numbering: Refers to a specific size standard, often compatible with standard laboratory cupellation furnaces, such as those found on 911Metallurgist or Legend Inc..
    • Capacity: High-capacity cupels can absorb more lead, allowing for efficient processing of samples. 
    These items are essential in mineral assaying, specifically for quantifying precious metals in ores.
