aqua regia solution | Gold Refining & Metal Extraction Forum
This white precipitate readily dissolves in a little added water leaving behind the precipitated metals after the zinc addition is completed. As the zinc is added in small amounts (1 teaspoon per addition) precipitates form. Be sure to stir it in and let the zinc fully react before adding more. When the zinc levels reach the proper ...

Undissolved metal in aqua regia
After bubbles ceased, I noticed a good bit of dark grey powder still was at the bottom. I added 25 mL more aqua regia but it didn't appear to react further. I filtered the metal, evaporated a good portion of the aqua regia to drive off the nitric acid, added more hydrochloric acid, boiled off more, and diluted with water.

aqua regia, mixture of concentrated nitric and hydrochloric acids, usually one part of the former to three parts of the latter by volume. This mixture was given its name (literally, "royal water") by the alchemists because of its ability to dissolve gold. It is a red or yellowish liquid. It is extremely corrosive and can cause skin burns.

When In Doubt, Cement It Out
The solid metal goes into solution and the dissolved metal precipitates, or "cements", out. This is also known as a "replacement reaction", as the solid metal replaces the metal that was in solution. The precipitate often looks like wet cement due to its color and texture as it settles to the bottom of the container.
