Paper or other material colored with this pigment will readily indicate the poison by being dipped in a weak solution of aqua ammoniae: the material will be bleached, while the solution becomes blue; if now a crystal of nitrate of silver "is dropped into it, it instantly turns yellow around its edges, from the formation of the arsenite of silver.
