Darkfield Diamond View

(Maglite not included)

A simple tool ALL RETAILERS should have ready at the counter. With the Darkfield Diamond View, even a new salesperson can quickly and easily spot most fracture-filled diamonds—and even show the customer the filler (very difficult to do with a microscope)! Darkfield illumination is ideal for easier examination and more accurate identification of inclusions in diamonds and colored gemstones—quickly reveals telltale "needles" in synthetic moissanite and provides better definition of inclusions seen in colored gems.

Darkfield Diamond View   ($58.95) Requires only a Mini Maglite available for $15.00. (2AA batteries included.)

Anyone can spot most filled diamonds with this easy-to-use instrument. The Darkfield Diamond View features a high intensity miniature Darkfield and a distortion-free 18mm 10X-triplet magnification. Its compact size makes it easy to always carry with you when buying gems. An essential tool for anyone buying diamonds.
