Questions & Answers
Well, that's a bit difficult to say. Real turquoise comes from China nowadays, but there is a lot of it out there. If there are no gold flakes, then it might be glass. Just my two cents. *br> *br>I usually determine real turquoise by seeing if it has little gold flakes (which it should) and if it's cold (warmer beads are plastic).
The answer is yes. In addition to knowing the refractory index for each gemstone, you must also know the refractory index for lab-created gems. The two are slightly different. For glass, there is only one index - (At least 5). On the Gem Society's website, you can find information on the refractory index. It is a great tool that I have used both naturally and by putting a light source in front of it.
It is not necessary to use the fluid in mine. Since the fluid is cancerous (according to a dear friend who is a gemologist), I chose the type that does not require It might help if I explain that.
have not tested the device on moissanite, but with diamonds I find it to work well. In tests, I identified a colored gemstone based on their optical properties since many synthetics possess the same properties.

This seemed to be a very happy experience for him.
It is very well made for the price and very accurate when working with a jewel with a flat surface.
Upon receiving the item, I contacted the seller to inform him of the defect. Despite my concerns about a refund, he assured me they would handle it. I received an email from Amazon informing me that the product was their fault. He asked for pictures of the defective product. There is nothing meaningful about the item. You should be careful when you buy!.
I like it.
I was unable to test or use the refractometer because there was no refractometer fluid included When this important part is missing from the instrument, you are selling a useless one.
