          The Gemstone Refractometer is an essential tool for anyone working in the gem and jewelry industry. Designed to measure the refractive index (RI) of polished gemstones from 1.30 to 1.81, it helps quickly determine the identity of precious and semi-precious stones. Lightweight and portable, it’s the perfect instrument for both field use and laboratory environments.

          This refractometer is capable of distinguishing between isotropic and anisotropic materials, allowing users to detect whether a gemstone is singly or doubly refractive (uniaxial or biaxial). Its compact design, low battery consumption, and reliable optical performance make it a must-have for gemstone identification.

          Whether you’re verifying authenticity or classifying unknown stones, this refractometer provides accurate, repeatable results—delivering confidence to gemologists, traders, and collectors alike.
