Scientific insight for mineral asset decisions.
The characteristics, treatment history, and available origin evidence of a gemstone inform its assessment. We coordinate appropriate specialist analysis and help clients interpret laboratory findings alongside relevant valuation considerations.
Spectroscopic analysis
Coordinate FTIR, Raman, and UV-Vis-NIR analysis as appropriate to the specimen and the questions under review.
Microscopic examination
Review inclusion patterns and other diagnostic features with specialist gemologists to support identification and assessment.
Treatment & authenticity review
Assess available findings on natural or synthetic origin and potential treatments, documenting limits and remaining uncertainties.
Assessment reporting
Bring together relevant laboratory findings, measurements, classifications, and valuation assumptions in a clear project report.
Findings with their limitations made clear
Testing and origin assessment depend on the specimen, available reference data, and the laboratory scope. Reports distinguish observed results from interpretation; analysis does not guarantee a sale price or an exact mine of origin.
