Cupel

CUPEL

noun
container for separating precious metals: a small container in which precious metals are refined, especially one in which gold and silver are separated from base metals during assaying
























My heart was the cupel
Where both real and fake
Friendships were welcomed
And sorted as befits the faith;
All polished and shone,
Some to cherish,
Others to smile upon.

That's a provocative idea to muse upon - very nicely illustrated.
