<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 9467554, member: 36"]Or just use your 18k acid on a testing stone and a little experience. Scratch some metal onto the stone and hit it with the acid. The metal, if silver, will "curdle" up and turn white/gray. Silver plate will react almost immediately, and the longer the reaction takes the lower the silver purity is. It's no good for exact measurement but it will give you a good idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
