Master the art of ore analysis with hands-on blowpipe and flux techniques that reveal what ores are made of. This practical guide walks you through tests, cupellation, and fluxes to identify metals in the field or lab.

This handbook compiles old and trusted methods for identifying and refining ores using blowpipe techniques. It covers the setup, common reagents, and step-by-step procedures that help you determine the composition of mineral samples, explain the meaning of test results, and apply practical refinements. What you’ll experience

• Hands-on blowpipe tests and the creation of borax-glass beads to observe mineral behavior.
