Large, Heavy Duty Prism Spectroscope

This handheld spectroscope for visible light is crucial for analyzing gemstones, revealing the absorption lines of the elements responsible for their color. For instance, it distinguishes between ruby (chrome) and red or pink sapphire (iron). By breaking down the light transmitted from a gemstone into its spectral colors, the spectroscope allows gemologists to observe the various wavelengths absorbed by the gemstone. This process helps identify the elements causing the absorption, making it an essential tool for gemstone identification.

With the spectroscope, you can analyze the spectrum of both loose and mounted stones. It assists in differentiating naturally colored diamonds from those that have been irradiated and helps distinguish natural stones from synthetics based on their selective absorption of specific wavelengths.
