Jeweler wants sourcing for cyanide

Hello, I am a small business owner from Texas and I am looking for cyanide solution to cleanse old gold. Almost all of the information I have been able to find on acquiring it stipulates that the product will only be shipped to schools and laboratories, and my business is neither. Does anyone have any advice/leads? Thank you!

There is undoubtably a good reason why you can't get a hold of it...

A little bit of time (less than 8 minutes) spent on the search engine turned up the following topics - 82, 221, 31585, 36709 - all go a fair way toward showing why you shouldn't use cyanide and a couple contain alternative technologies.

Best of luck.
