What this service covers.
The distinction between natural and synthetic gemstones requires systematic analytical work. The laboratory examines internal features under magnification, analyses spectroscopic signatures, and cross-references chemical composition data to reach a determination.
This service is the foundation of gemstone identification and is included as standard in all report formats. As a standalone service, it provides a definitive natural-or-synthetic determination without the full report documentation.
Included in this service
✓ Visual and microscopic examination
✓ Spectroscopic analysis (FTIR, UV-Vis, Raman)
✓ Determination: natural or laboratory-created
