Problems solved by technology

[0005] It is desirable to provide an instrument that can be adopted by jewelers so that it requires no skilled skill, is relatively inexpensive, is easy to operate, and is quick to use, but this requires acceptance of the fact that such an instrument is not Capable of detecting all types of diamonds with flawless accuracy

Abstract

The instrument has a housing (1) mounting the following components to provide a self-contained, stand-alone instrument: a compact solid state 532nm laser 9 coupled to a window (5) in a thermally-insulated container (2) for liquid nitrogen and the gemstone (4); a compact solid state diode 655 nm laser (10) coupled to the window (5); two compact, sensitive CCD spectrometers 11 and 11 detecting luminescence features with zero-phonon lines at in the range 550-1000 nm; a processor (17) for processing the signals from the spectrometers 11 and 11 to indicate whether the gemstone (4) is a natural diamond which has not been subjected to irradiation treatment or hgih-pressure high-temperature treatment; and a display (18). The container (2) has a cover (6) and a pin (8) which is used to place and hold the gemstone (4) against the window (5).

Description

Background of the invention [0001] It is important to be able to determine if a polished gemstone is an untreated natural diamond. Gemstones can be made into diamonds through synthetic methods. Natural diamonds can also be subjected to high pressure high temperature (HPHT) treatment, or to irradiation to increase their value by, for example, enhancing their color. [0002] The present invention relates to an instrument for indicating or determining whether a polished gemstone is a natural diamond that has not been subjected to irradiation treatment and / or whether it is a natural diamond that has not been subjected to high pressure and high temperature treatment. This determination is made in the laboratory by illuminating the stone, causing it to emit a photoluminescence spectrum, and analyzing this spectrum. by Adamas Gemological Laboratory at their web site http: / / www.gis.net / ~adamas / raman.html This process is discussed in a publication entitled "SAS2000 RAMAN Spectra" pu...
