The Gem-A Portable Refractometer is a high-precision gemstone testing tool designed for professional gemologists, jewelers, and appraisers. This advanced refractometer measures the refractive index (RI) of faceted gemstones, cabochons, carvings, and crystal faces with exceptional accuracy, making it an essential instrument for gemstone identification.
Equipped with an in-built monochromatic filter, this refractometer provides precise and reliable RI readings, distinguishing between optically isotropic and anisotropic gemstones. It features a removable polarizing lens, a pull-out eyepiece, and a wide prism glass, enhancing usability and precision. The stainless steel faceplate ensures durability, while the lightweight and compact design allows for easy portability.
This professional-grade refractometer includes 1.78 RI Liquid and a smart travel case, making it convenient for both laboratory and on-the-go gem testing. Whether testing loose gemstones or those set in jewelry, this tool delivers quick and accurate results.
