		A touchstone is a small tablet of dark stone such as fieldstone or slate, used for probing of precious metal alloys.
		By rubbing the metal on a touchstone a small amount of metal would be ground off onto the stone, and form a colored stripe.
		The invention of touchstone made it possible to test for such forgeries quickly and efficiently, and also to determine the relative value of different alloys.

	Pearl Jewelry - Precious Metal Jewelry
		However, touchstone testing is not as precise as a chemical analysis done by an expert, which would indicate with greater precision the standard of the metal in parts per thousand.
		The touchstone acid method indicates with a certain imprecision that the metal is superior to the karat of the acid used because the gold didn't burn away.
		There are specific touchstone acids to test of silver content as well, but if we were to analyze them with 18-karat gold acid, the mark would turn light blue, reacting to the chloride in the silver.
