Handheld Heavy Duty Calcite Dichroscope, Trichoic Gem & Gemstones Gemological Testing, Jeweler Tool Metal Body Gemology 15mm Diameter Gemologist

Features

• Determine dichroism: The dichroscope helps determine if a stone is dichroic, meaning it reflects two different colors. This is especially useful for differentiating stones of the same color from one another.
• Side-by-side comparison: With the dichroscope, you can observe the two pleochroic colors characteristic of a given direction in a doubly-refractive gem side by side. This allows for easy identification of dichroism.
• Multiple viewing directions: If no dichroism is initially identified, the stone can be turned and viewed in different directions using the dichroscope. This helps in thoroughly assessing the stone for any pleochroic colors.
• Trichroic gem identification: The dichroscope is also capable of identifying trichroic gems. By viewing the stone in three directions perpendicular to each other, you can observe three distinct colors, further enhancing gemstone identification.
• Accurate gemstone differentiation: By utilizing the dichroscope’s capabilities, you can confidently differentiate gemstones based on their dichroism or trichroism, allowing for accurate assessments and identification in the gemstone industry.
