gemstone Question: How does a Diamond Probe work?
Can we use it on gemstones as well?
Thanks for your answer...
Answer: G'day and many thanks for your query
The simple answer is NO - You cannot use a diamond probe on gemstones in EXACTLY the same way...
Diamonds have a particular quality which disperses heat better than other gemstones. A diamond probe sends a minute impulse into the gemstone and measures the reaction to that pulse.
Only diamond has this quality so it will not work on other gemstones as they give a lower figure to the pulse.
You might also like to add this query to my blog at http://how2valuejewelry.com/ as other may have had a similar problem. Can't hurt anyway and who knows what answers you may get.
Hope this helps...
