Gemstone Holders
The gem holder is spring loaded and safely holds your stone while you are showing it off to everyone in the room. It eliminates those carpet combing incidents where you are frantically trying to find the stone that someone dropped. The 4-Prong gemstone holder is available in a long or short version.
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 before 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 (RI 1.654-1.69), quartz (RI 1.544-1.553), etc. Note: We do not ship liquids outside the US.
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. I use insulated tweezers for holding faceting rough during the dopping process. Their cross locking design makes it easy to hold stones firmly in place. Insulated tweezers also offer more control when dopping small stones and keeps hands at a safe distance from the flame. 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.
