There might be other few ways but these are the standard ways to test the genuineness of raw gold. These methods outline are methods adopted by Gold Refinery for, instance, the weight method tells you that you are dealing with pure gold without wasting your time, having to go through rigorous tests and the nitric acid method turns the material's color into black instead of shining yellowish color, also used in Gold Refinery to clean the gold in order to wash away any impurities. In other articles to follow I will briefly discuss how to test gold Bar.
There are gold nuggets, gold dust, and Bar the test process is the same for nuggets and dust but for gold bar is different. These are the sure methods, you can never go wrong and I do not know of other methods.
Thanks for reading.
