Refractol
When you drop a rough stone into the jar of Refractol, even one with a frosted surface, it seems to disappear. The only things you see are the color of the stone and those nasty flaws. This helps you locate problems in your rough brfore you start cutting. Refractol's refractive index (RI) is 1.567, so it helps locate flaws in many stones such as beryl (RI 1.57-1.6), topaz (RI 1.60-1.638), tourmaline (RI 1.616-1.652, peridot IRI 1.654-1.69), quartz (RI 1.544-1.553)
Note: We do not ship liquids outside the U.S.

Tweezers
Tweezers are handy tools for gem handling by faceters, gemologists and jewelers. Fine point tweezers are helpful when sorting through a parcel of cut or
rough stones. Locking tweezers are useful when closely inspecting individual
stones and for dopping. Pearl and bead tweezers have a round hollow
area at the business end of the tweezers. This helps in picking up and holding round objects such as pearls and beads without damaging them. |

Stone Papers
Stone papers are what many pros use
to carry their stones. Stone papers are pre-folded, so all you have to do is slip
your stone in between the sheets and tuck it in. White stone papers have a double
set of white glassine liners, and black stone papers have a white outside paper
with black inside liner. Black stone papers make opals and colorless gemstones really pop!
