Recently had a question which I though would be worth sharing:
Hi, I have a question on how to test for silver. I don't know if after rubbing on touchstone and appling acid, does the mark turn a special color?
This was my reply which may help those with a similar problem....
Firstly it is important to realise that you do NOT use a touchstone for Silver.
You should test the article itself.
Lightly scratch or scuff a small spot which is not seen (like underneath a silver teapot or inside a ring band etc) and apply Nitric Acid to the spot.
