🔧 What it does & how to use
An essential bench tool for jewellers, pawnbrokers and hobbyist testers who need a quick, low-cost way to check precious metal purity before applying testing acid. The stone gives a clean, flat surface to rub a streak of metal onto, ready for the acid to react against.
- Rub a sample: draw the item being tested firmly across the stone to leave a visible metal streak.
- Apply the acid: add a drop of the appropriate gold, silver or platinum testing acid to the streak.
- Read the reaction: watch how the streak reacts (colour change, fizzing, or no reaction) to judge the metal and approximate carat/purity.
- Wipe and reuse: clean the stone off between tests so it's ready for the next sample.
