ToolTreaux Complete Gold Testing Kit Gold Prospecting Tools and Accessories

Easily test the karat content of gold with ToolTreaux’s Complete Gold Testing Kit! The kit includes four, 0.5oz shatterproof plastic squeeze bottles and one gold testing stone; the testing solutions are potent, effective and will see you through hundreds of tests.

This gold testing method is best used on gold that is yet to be smelted, due to the harsh nature of the solution that could potentially damage an already finished item; if testing fine jewelry or other finished gold items, be sure to choose an inconspicuous spot so as not to compromise the finished piece.

To test gold karat content and purity, scratch the item onto the test stone leaving a visible deposit, then place a small drop of the solution over top of deposit; if the gold is the same karat or higher the solution will not affect the deposit; if the deposit is of a lower karat, the deposit will dissolve and eventually disappear.

Included with the gold testing kit are bonus tools and accessories that will come in handy during gold panning – a crucible, glass collection vials, a snifter bottle, a microfiber towel, a set of magnifying tweezers and a pair of safety goggles. All of the items fit neatly inside the included plastic toolbox, making the kit portable.
