GEMOLOGY
TOOLS PROFESSIONAL
Gemology
Tools is Windows software that
contains the most complete gemology
reference available. This program
is intended for the gemologist/appraiser.
Included are such gemology aids
as the Gemstone Database which
gives you access to information
on over 1,700 gemstone species,
varieties, trade names and misnomers.
Also included are diamond weight
estimators, colored stone weight
estimators, a pearl grader (based
on the system developed by the
Guide), a diamond cut grading
system (devised by NAJA), a
round diamond re-cutting analyzer
and much, much more. The Gemstone
Database provides over 30 facts,
properties and characteristics
for most gemstones. Over 800
gemstone photographs are included.
The Gemstone Database also features
the new Gemstone Separator,
the easiest way to make a gem
identification and the new Inclusion
Gallery which provides you with
over 160 visual examples of
gemstone and diamond inclusions
and surface features. With access
to over 1,700 gemstone species,
varieties, trade names and misnomers
you can look up just about any
fact, property, characteristic
or photograph in just seconds.
With over 800 gemstone photographs,
rough and cut, you can get a
visual representation of many
gemstones and gemstone inclusions.
You can sort the database by
Specific Gravity which gives
you a look at the densest (or
least dense) gems, or by Refractive
Index to see which gems have
the highest RI (or the lowest
RI). You can use the Visual
Crown Angle calculator to get
a look at how the crown angle
changes when the table width
or crown height is changed.
You can visit the Inclusion
Gallery to view all kinds of
inclusions or surface features.
