According to episode 2.15 of House M.D., "When I was a kid, my dad was stationed at a marine base in Egypt. We were in the middle of nowhere and there was absolutely nothing for a kid to do except look for a mummy's tomb.... I never actually did find a mummy, but I did learn a fair amount about the ancient Egyptians. For example, they discovered that stannous chloride is not only great for toughening ruby glass, but if it's mixed with gold, it turns bright purple." Any of this accurate? 139.84.48.249 15:38, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I think there's certainly some truth in it; from memory I think it may be used to make "Purple of Cassius" (see [1]). We should probably look up some more authoritative sources on this and add it in. It may be relevant to Gold(III) chloride as well. Walkerma 17:07, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
