Stone to Test Gold


There are lots of ways to test gold. Because gold is also one of the precious stones that we have we need to make sure that you are getting the value of your money.

We all know that a real gold is really expensive. You need to spend thousands of money just to get a small piece of gold. That is why lots of jewelers are using different ways to test gold.

Some of the jewelers use acid, electronic devices and some are using a special stone to test gold.

The stone that are being used to test gold is a dark stone. It is used to test the karat of gold as well as silver and even platinum.

How to use the gold test stone?

To use it you just need to rub the pieces of gold to the stone. If you see a yellow strike on the dark stone that means it is pure gold.

Some jewelers are also using magnet to test gold. They will hold a magnet near the stone and see if it will attract the gold. If it will that means there are other metals that are included on the said stone.
