Delphine & Natty's opinion

Cassius precipitate is a chemical compound that forms when gold ions (Au³⁺) react with tin ions (Sn²⁺) in solution. This precipitate is pink to red in color, which earned it the name "Cassius precipitate," in honor of the German chemist Andreas Cassius, who described it in the 18th century.
19th century object, authenticated French work.
