What this service covers.
Ruby undergoes a wider range of treatments than most other gemstone species. This service examines for standard and low-temperature heat treatment, flux-assisted healing of fractures, lead-glass filling, and beryllium diffusion, each requiring different analytical techniques.
Standard testing covers optical and spectroscopic examination. The advanced tier adds LA-ICP-MS chemical analysis for beryllium diffusion detection, which cannot be identified through spectroscopy alone.
Included in this service
✓ Microscopic examination for heat indicators
✓ FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy
✓ Flux healing and glass filling detection
✓ Optional: LA-ICP-MS for beryllium diffusion
