Not sure what you mean by "white stone" for silver? All test stones do the job. The appropriate acid is required for precious metals. I avoid scratch stones. They can potentially damage valuable items. That said, I did buy a "scratch kit" from Amazon for $8. It included, silver, 10k, 14k and 18k acids.
I mostly use a RS Mizar Electronic Tester though. Won't damage jewelry or coins.
Good luck
Peace

I have a normal black stone, it works fine for gold and platinum testing. Just when it comes to silver I have trouble making out the color changes and figured a white colored stone would make it rather easy.
