What are Fire Assay Cupels? Cupels are vessels made out of magnesite, bone ash or other materials which are used in the fire assay process to isolate the precious metals. Their porous nature allows them to be used to absorb base metals and impurities through a process of oxidisation. The precious metals being tested, due to their chemical nature, do not oxidise and remain on top of the cupel surface in a metallic bead known as a prill Cupels are a critical part of the fire assay process, allowing metallurgists to reliably separate and measure the amounts of precious metals present in mineral samples. Not all magnesite is appropriate to produce cupels, so talk to Westref and be sure to get the right product, first time.
