Handheld Heavy Duty Calcite Dichroscope, Trichoic Gem & Gemstones Gemological Testing, Jeweler Tool Metal Body Gemology 15mm Diameter Gemologist

Determine dichroism: The dichroscope helps determine if a stone is dichroic, meaning it reflects two different colors. This is especially useful for differentiating stones of the same color from one another. Side-by-side comparison: With the dichroscope, you can observe the two pleochroic colors characteristic of a given direction in a doubly-refractive gem side by side. This allows for easy identification of dichroism. Multiple viewing directions: If no dichroism is initially identified, the stone can be turned and viewed in different directions using the dichroscope. This helps in thoroughly assessing the stone for any pleochroic colors. Trichroic gem identification: The dichroscope is also capable of identifying trichroic gems. By viewing the stone in three directions perpendicular to each other, you can observe three distinct colors, further enhancing gemstone identification. Accurate gemstone differentiation: By utilizing the dichroscope's capabilities, you can confidently differentiate gemstones based on their dichroism or trichroism, allowing for accurate assessments and identification in the gemstone industry.
