H / AlCuTaAu
Precious metals and stones were mined out of technological objects and transformed back into mineral form.
The artificial ore was constructed out of gold (Au), copper (Cu), tantalum (Ta), aluminium (Al) and whetstone; all taken from tools, machinery and computers that were sourced from a recently bankrupt factory.
