well, from what i have read, you can see the ormes, taste them, and detect that they are there in other ways as well, like the temp seems abnormally cool without refrigeration, oily sensation on the tongue, etc. second, the effects could give away what you have. most ormes are going to be gold and we know those effects, but i have seen info on delineating the specific effects for the specific element. for example, platinum is known to create a strong aversion to alcohol, even make one ill if they drink. that would be one test to see if a substantial amount of platinum is present.
i will let you know if i try it. the only problem i have is finding the proper source. i want it to be natural and i need it to be tested for things like mercury and arsenic and modern polutants. still looking.
