[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 371189, member: 6786"] Guys, every element has a "vapour pressure" which is higher at elevated temperatures. We mainly associate it with liquids (water, alcohols etc), but it pertains to every element. Our gold nuggets (just like every other element - even our skin) are slowly evaporating as I write. Just damn slowly. Will be a lot greater at melting point and even more above. This is not speculation, just the laws of physics. [/QUOTE]
