I have some gold that has turned black and I'm wondering if this means it's fake. I've heard that real gold doesn't change color, so I'm concerned that I may have been sold fake gold. Is gold fake if it turns black?

White vinegar is ideal for this test due to its high acidity.

Real gold will remain unchanged in color as it does not react with vinegar.

It is particularly suitable for high purity gold such as 24k bullion and raw gold nuggets.

In contrast, fake gold may undergo a color change, turning black or green.
