STEP 3: TESTING GOLD & PLATINUM
• For best results, always file a small area on the surface of the metal being tested
and rest it on the testing plate with the filed area facing up.
• Touch and hold the pen probe to the filed area until the LED display settles on
a karat value. Platinum will test as PT and non-gold as NA. It is recommended
to hold the jewelry on the testing plate to stabilize it and to make good contact
with the pen probe and the metal being tested.
• The AuRACLE technology is calibrated to yellow gold. Due to inconsistencies in
alloys used in white gold, the karat value displayed from the test may be slightly
lower than marked.
• When you are finished testing, always replace the pen probe cap until it snaps
on to keep it from drying out.
STEP 4: ANALYZER POWER OFF & BATTERY POWER LEVEL CHECK
To turn the ANALYZER o, press and hold the POWER/CALIBRATION button.
The tester also has an auto-o feature when using battery power and will
automatically turn itself o in 10 minutes if not used. While holding the POWER/
CALIBRATION button down, the display will indicate the remaining battery power
level.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
USE COMMONSENSE BEFORE INTERPRETING THE TEST RESULTS. You
should always follow some commonsense guidelines before making your final
determination of the karat value or authenticity of the precious metal being
tested. Please keep in mind that those misrepresenting fake jewelry as real can
be extremely clever and will use many tricks to make you think it is real.
GUIDELINE A. Check the markings on the piece for a karat stamp (10K or .417,
14K or .585, 18K or .750, 22K or .916, 24K or .999, GF or gold-filled, GEP or gold
electroplated, YGF or yellow gold-filled, RGP or rolled gold plated, etc.). If the test
results indicate anything dierent than the stamp, the metal should be suspect.
Test results below the 10K range must be interpreted by the user and estimated
whether it is 6K-9K.
GUIDELINE B. Be aware that any piece that tests as NA is not gold.
GUIDELINE C. Check the weight of the metal you are about to test and if it
seems too light, while it could be hollow gold, it should be suspect as it may be
costume jewelry, gold-plated or gold-filled. Gold is a dense metal and has an
associated greater weight than most other non-precious metals. Platinum is an

QUICK OPERATION GUIDE
even denser metal than gold, while weighing approximately 1/3 more than 18K
gold.
GUIDELINE D. Check the color of yellow gold and be aware that non-gold base
metals are oen flashed or gold-plated with 24K gold to enhance its color and
consequently the gold color will look too yellow. Since 24K gold is a rich yellow
color and this pure gold is very uncommon in jewelry, any rich yellow gold color
should be suspect. Look for tarnishing or variations in the color and finish of the
jewelry as a sign of it being a fake.
GUIDELINE E. Check the clasp used on the jewelry. Costume jewelry oen has
a spring ring style clasp, and this should be suspect. Karat jewelry oen will have
a lobster style clasp. Do not test the clasp only as it is common for a karat gold
clasp to be attached to a fake gold necklace or bracelet to fool you.
TROUBLESHOOTING & HELPFUL TIPS
The ANALYZER must always be calibrated before using. It may also be necessary
to recalibrate the ANALYZER as needed. Also, periodically wipe the pen probe’s
felt tip on a paper towel to clean it if inconsistent results are experienced.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE CHEMISTRY IN THE PEN PROBE
IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING OVER TIME AS IT IS EXPOSED TO GOLD AND
OTHER METALS, CONTAMINANT’S, THE ENVIRONMENT AND DIRT. The
genius of the AuRACLE technology is that by cleaning the felt tip on the pen
probe as needed and then recalibrating the ANALYZER periodically, this allows
the ANALYZER to adjust itself to the chemistry in the pen probe at that time.
Since the ANALYZER can be calibrated in only a matter of seconds or the pen
probe’s felt tip may be quickly and easily cleaned if needed, these simple steps
should be a regular part of your testing process and problem solving.
If the ANALYZER will not calibrate, the pen probe may be defective, spent or
in need of replacement. Please note that it is recommended for best results
that you should consider replacing the pen probe if it is worn or becomes
excessively dirty from repeated exposure to costume jewelry, fake gold or other
contaminates. A pen probe in this condition may begin to deliver erratic readings
and these are good indicators that it should be replaced.
REGULAR CLEANING OF THE PEN PROBE’S FELT TIP AND TESTING PLATE:
Always wipe o the gold particle filings and other metal particles coming from
costume, gold-plated or gold-filled jewelry that may remain on the pen probe’s
felt tip to avoid contamination. The metal particles remaining on the pen probe’s
felt tip that are naturally rubbed o during the testing process, and especially
metal filings from other karat gold, copper, brass, or other base metals that have
been filed and remain on the pen probe’s felt tip could potentially cause incorrect
test results. Therefore, regular cleaning is important.

GEMORO AuRACLE®ANALYZER GOLD & PLATINUM TESTER 
The pen probe contains a special saline solution that is safe, non-acidic, and non-
toxic. Remove salt crystal buildup by dabbing the pen probe’s felt tip with a clean
and dry paper towel. Salt crystal buildup is a natural occurrence with this device.
Using a paper towel, wipe o any salt crystal buildup from the 18K yellow gold
calibration piece and the ANALYZER testing plate area. Be aware that the pen
probe solution may potentially leave a stain on the testing plate if not wiped
o immediately aer it makes contact, so cleaning it right aer this occurs
is advised. While this staining may occur, it will not impact the accuracy of the
ANALYZER. Never expose the pen probe’s felt tip to water or other chemicals.
Always replace the pen probe cap until it snaps on when not in use.
FOR BEST RESULTS FILE ALL METAL BEFORE TESTING AND CLEAN THE
FILE: The ANALYZER is a surface tester, so consequently the tester may test
gold-plated and gold-filled as solid gold if not filed to expose the base metal.
Gold, platinum, gold-plated, gold-filled, tungsten and stainless steel must be
filed below the surface before testing to produce accurate results. Always wipe
o the file. Be aware that gold and other metal particles on the file could cause
contamination from the metal to spread to the next piece you are testing if it is
not regularly cleaned o. Do not file the metal over the ANALYZER testing plate,
as particles of the metal being filed will fall on it and potentially influence test
results.
NO MOVEMENT OF LEDs WHEN TESTING:
This is an indication that either the pen probe isn’t plugged into the ANALYZER all
the way or that the material you are testing is non-conductive (example plastic).
TEST RESULTS ARE TOO HIGH:
This is an indication that the ANALYZER is out of calibration, or perhaps there is a
high presence of silver, palladium, or rhodium on the gold you are testing.
OTHER PRECIOUS METALS
TUNGSTEN AND STAINLESS STEEL:
Be aware that if tungsten or stainless steel isn’t filed first it may test in the high
karat range or even as platinum, but if it is filed it will then test as NA. ALWAYS
FILE IT FIRST!
RHODIUM:
Be aware that rhodium will react as platinum on the ANALYZER. It is rarely used
as solid finished jewelry, but instead it is commonly used as a plating material to
make white gold or platinum appear brighter or whiter. If white gold is plated with
rhodium and filed, it will then test accurately or possibly as a higher karat than
marked since it is taking an average reading of the two metals. ALWAYS FILE IT
FIRST! If white gold tests higher than marked, it is probably rhodium plated.
PALLADIUM:
Be aware that pure palladium will test somewhere between 18K and 24K on the

QUICK OPERATION GUIDE
ANALYZER. In the case of palladium being mixed with white gold, it will drive the
reading up to a higher karat than it is. If you see a reading on white gold that is
higher than marked, it may very well be mixed with palladium.
WHITE GOLD WITH HIGH NICKEL OR HIGH SILVER CONTENT:
Be aware that white gold with a high nickel content may test as a lower karat
than marked. While it could be under karat gold in this instance, it is likely the
karat marked. White gold commonly has a 4% to 7% silver content. If white gold
has a higher silver content above 7% it may test as a slightly higher karat than
marked, while reacting with a slow and consistent rise in the reading as a telltale
sign.
