HOW TO CHECK GEMSTONES & TEST NATURAL GEMSTONES
When purchasing a natural gemstone, it is important to verify its identity and certification. Here are some useful steps you can follow:
1. Note the Gemstone Weight
Write down the exact weight of the gemstone mentioned on the product page or purchase details. When you receive the gemstone, compare its weight with the weight mentioned on the laboratory certificate.
2. Check the Gemstone Certificate
Make sure your gemstone comes with a certificate issued by a recognized gem-testing laboratory. The certificate should contain important information about the gemstone and its identification.
3. Check the Laboratory Packaging or Seal
If the gemstone is supplied in sealed laboratory packaging, make sure the seal is intact and has not been tampered with. Some laboratories seal tested gemstones in transparent packaging so that the stone can be identified without opening it.
4. Verify the Gem-Testing Laboratory
The gem-testing laboratory should be an independent organization and should not be directly associated with the seller. Check the laboratory's credentials, recognition, and contact information before relying on its certificate.
5. Verify the Certificate Online
If the laboratory provides online certificate verification, enter the certificate or report number on the laboratory's official website. The online details should match the information printed on your certificate, including the gemstone's weight and other identification details.
6. Compare the Gemstone Weight
A gemstone's exact weight can be an important identification reference. Compare the weight of your gemstone with the weight stated on its laboratory certificate, along with other identifying characteristics.
7. Check the Certificate's Security Features
Look for security features provided by the laboratory, such as a hologram, QR code, seal, unique report number, or other authentication features.
8. Review the Gemological Details
Depending on the gemstone and laboratory report, important gemological information may include specific gravity, refractive index, optical characteristics, measurements, weight, color, treatment information, and other identification details.
9. Verify All Details Carefully
The gemstone's weight, measurements, description, and other characteristics should correspond with the information provided on its laboratory certificate.
