Accurate gemological equipment is essential for any professional gemologist. As every professional knows, gemology is a science and an art. The right gemological tools are needed in order to ensure accuracy when evaluating and identifying gemstones. This is done using a variety of gemological instruments, which are designed to help the professional identify the properties of the gemstone.

Gemstone identification is performed using gemological tools, such as a refractometer, which is considered to be the most important gemological instruments. This equipment measures the refraction of light as it travels through a stone. The refractive index of each gemstone is unique, which makes this method accurate for identifying many different types of gemstones.

In addition to the refractive index, the reflective index of a gem is another important clue in gem identification. This is the amount of light and quality of light that is reflected in a gemstone. Other important professional gemological equipment includes dichroscopes, which are used to determine if a gemstone reflects two colors. If so, it is said to be dichroic. Chelsea filters are used to help identify colored gemstones that are red, blue or green.
