Analysis of gemstones and diamonds in jewelry with the FT-IR microscope LUMOS.
Since the late 1800s synthetic gem-crystals are available and the production processes were more and more refined. Later, starting in the 1950s, also diamond was available via different kinds of syntheses and can now be produced in
gem-quality with individual masses of one carat or more. In parallel many different methods were developed for the quality improvement of natural gemstones and diamonds like fracture filling, color improvements via physical and chemical methods and so forth. Thus, the knowledge about the stone’s genesis and history has become crucial and has substantial economic implications. ...
