City Lit will also provide basic materials in reasonable quantities, such as hard silver solder, base metals such as copper, and other materials (paper, enamel, etc.,) chemicals (pickle, borax, etc.,) and consumables (etching resist, polishing compound, etc.).

Should you wish to work with precious metals and precious and semi-precious stones, you need to supply them yourself.
