All of our gold is of the highest workable purity @ 23.5ct
Our Heavy Weight loose Gold Leaf is the best gold leaf around with 98% purity (23.5ct)
If you had 400 books (x25 sheets per book @ 80mm x80mm) of heavy weight Gold Leaf, it would weigh 159gms - That's how we work the price out, so it's worth asking your supplier what the weight of thier gold is, as you may be getting short changed.
We also offer a discount for purchasing tape or Peg & Tubes at the same time.
