New device to check contamination in gold!

White metals like Osmium, Palladium, Ruthenium, and Iridium are being mixed with gold while making jewellery.
It is rather difficult to detect this.
Only if the jewellery is melted (to a temperature of 2200 Degrees Fahrenheit) , it may be possible to detect the presence of these white metals.
However, at this temperature gold will disintegrate into dust form & fly away in the wind.
As a viable alternative to check the purity of gold, a new device ‘XRS’ has come.
If a jewellery item is placed on this device, it will give a report on all other metals have been mixed at what extent within a short period.
The customers can confirm about the purity of the gold in the jewellery by using this device.
This device is now available in the market.
