ADVANCED GEM IDENDIFICATION
|
|
This
course has been designed for people who have already attended or are attending
course on Colored Stones & Gem Identification (Course No.1) of this
institute. The course primarily covers RUBY, SAPPHIRE & EMERALD in great
detail. It enables the student to learn about characteristics of these gems
from different mines. As learning about different mines and sources is highly
important for trade of Gems, the course helps in going further into the
trade.
The
second part of the course covers SYNTHETIC & TREATED Rubies, Sapphires
& Emeralds . It enlists the method of manufacture along with identification
features. Apart from this various treatments carried on to improve these
gems & their identification is also covered in detail.
These
Gems from different mines shall be demonstrated practically and so shall
be synthetic Gems made by Flux, Hydrothermal Method etc. The same thing
goes for treated Gems like HEAT TREATED & DIFFUSION TREATED ONES. The
students handle these stones practically.
