Refractometer

EickRefract.jpg (18888 bytes)Professionals, serious collectors and hobbyists can't be without the instrument most gemologists consider the most important gem identification instrument available.

The primary use of the refractometer is to measure the angle at which light travelling through a stone is bent or refracted. This measurement is called the Refractive Index (R.I.). Since the R.I. differs for every stone, the measurement provided by the refractometer indicates the identity of most stones.

Now available is the RosGem Precision Pocket Model compact, high quality, and high precision that fits right in your pocket! Bring it with you to shows, on buying trips, and in the field to eliminate costly mistakes. Test loose or mounted stones with RI readings ranging from 1.300 to 1.800.
