This is a cool test, but it works for some gold plated and silver too. So not solid.

If they use 18k acid on 14k metal on a touchstone, it will burn it off. If they put the 18k acid on 14 metal straight it will make it turn brown, or its burning it, Testing gold by acid is a process of deduction, but you also have to know what you are doing
