CLASSIC MOKUME GANE

Mokume-Gane (pronounced Moe-koo-may Gah-nay) is the ancient Japanese metal working technique where layers of contrasting color metals such as copper, brass, nickel silver, gold, and silver are fusion welded with very high heat and pressure into one solid block of metal.  Traditional Mokume-Gane is extremely rare and sells for hundreds if not thousands of dollars for a very small quantity. This is not traditional Mokume-Gane. It is M3 Mokume-Gane, which is a new composite material made out of contrasting M3 metals which share the visual characteristics, the wood grain of Mokume-Gane for a fraction of the price. In this case M3 uses the finest Didentric Copper and the brightest Galactic Silver to create their version of this ancient art. Available in various shapes and sizes this beautiful material will polish to an extremely high gem quality shine or you can be creative and patina with chemical patina agents.
