identify-gemstone

Identify gemstones using optical properties, physical tests, and inclusion analysis. Covers refractive index, specific gravity, pleochroism, spectroscopy indicators, and common simulant detection. Use when identifying an unknown gemstone, verifying a seller's claim about species identity, distinguishing natural stones from simulants or synthetics, building gemological literacy through structured observation, or identifying rough material before cutting to ensure safe handling.
