Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 39
भास्कर उवाच । गृहाण त्वं महाभाग गुटिकाद्वितयं शुभम् । शुक्लं कृष्णं च वक्त्रस्थं विभेद जननं महत्
bhāskara uvāca | gṛhāṇa tvaṃ mahābhāga guṭikādvitayaṃ śubham | śuklaṃ kṛṣṇaṃ ca vaktrasthaṃ vibheda jananaṃ mahat
भास्कर म्हणाले—हे महाभाग, या शुभ दोन गुटिका घे—एक श्वेत व एक कृष्ण। मुखात ठेविल्यास त्या महान भेदशक्ती उत्पन्न करतात।

This verse is instructional and does not itself name a tīrtha, though it appears within a Tīrthamāhātmya chapter.
An observance-like instruction is given: keep the white/black pellets in the mouth (vaktrastha) to generate distinct results.
