🔧 What it does & how to use
A gold testing stone is a fine-grained rectangular block used alongside gold testing acids to check the purity of gold, silver and other precious metals. It's a staple tool for jewellers, watchmakers, pawnbrokers and collectors checking scrap, jewellery, watch cases and small items before buying, selling or repairing them.
- Scratch a line: Rub the item firmly across the stone's surface to leave a visible streak of metal on the fine-grain face.
- Apply testing acid: Place a drop of the appropriate karat testing acid onto the scratch mark.
- Read the reaction: Observe how quickly the mark dissolves or changes colour to judge the metal's purity.
- Clean between tests: Wipe the stone clean before testing a different item to avoid cross-contamination of results.
⚠️ Please check this listing is for the testing stone only — testing acids and any comparison needles are sold separately.
