COLOURED STONES & PEARLS.

Accurate identification is essential in maintaining the commercial value of gemstones. It is also a required skill which enables jewelers to disclose to their customers the correct identity of the gemstones they sell.

By using standard gem testing instruments and techniques, trained gemologists can recognize most gem materials.

In some instances, gemologists may not be able to distinguish certain synthetic and laboratory treated gem materials using standard gem testing instruments , which can have almost the same visual appearance and gemological properties as their natural counterparts.

Use of advanced non-destructive advanced techniques like X ray imaging (pearls), spectroscopic, and chemical analysis helps establish criteria to distinguish all gem material.
