how do i tell if its calcium stains or sick glass

its not always easy to tell just by looking with mildly sick bottles.
maybe someone else has a test method.
heavy etching, opalescence, and oxidation will be pretty obvious.
so,does anyone have a way to tell if its sick or just calcium stains?[:)][8|]

Drop in a cough drop and come back in 3 days, if it isn't better it's still sick....Jim[8D]
