Gemstone Identification
Our professional gemstone identification service uses state-of-the-art equipment and decades of expertise to accurately identify any gemstone. Whether you have inherited jewelry, found stones, or purchased gems that need verification, our certified gemologists provide comprehensive identification services.
Our Identification Process
Initial Visual Examination
We begin with a thorough visual inspection using professional gemological loupes and microscopes to examine the stone's physical characteristics, inclusions, and surface features.
Refractive Index Testing
Using precision refractometers, we measure how light bends through the gemstone. This optical property is unique to each mineral and helps us narrow down the identification.
Specific Gravity Analysis
We determine the stone's density by measuring its specific gravity using hydrostatic weighing methods. This helps distinguish between gems with similar appearance but different densities.
Spectroscopic Analysis
Advanced spectroscopic equipment analyzes the stone's absorption spectrum, revealing its chemical composition and identifying any treatments or enhancements.
Final Verification
All test results are cross-referenced with gemological databases and our extensive experience to provide a definitive identification with complete confidence.
Professional Equipment Used
We use the most advanced gemological equipment available to ensure accurate identification. Our laboratory is equipped with high-powered microscopes for detailed inclusion analysis, precision refractometers for measuring optical properties, hydrostatic balances for specific gravity determination, and advanced spectroscopes for chemical composition analysis.
What You Receive
Upon completion of our identification service, you will receive a detailed written report that includes the gemstone's identity, complete gemological properties documentation, high-resolution photographs, treatment detection and disclosure, and a professional consultation explaining our findings. When applicable, we also provide a certificate of authenticity.
