Description

The Prismatic Spectroscope is an essential tool for gemologists, enabling the analysis of both loose and mounted stones with precision. This device aids in distinguishing naturally colored diamonds from those that have been irradiated and helps differentiate natural stones from synthetic counterparts through the selective absorption of specific wavelengths of light.

This handheld spectroscope for visible light displays the absorption lines of the elements that contribute to a gemstone’s color. For example, it effectively differentiates between ruby, which contains chrome, and red or pink sapphire, which contains iron. By breaking up the light transmitted from a gemstone into its spectral colors, the spectroscope allows gemologists to observe the various wavelengths absorbed by the gemstone. This critical insight reveals the elements present in the gemstone, making the Prismatic Spectroscope one of the most vital tools for gemstone identification.
