Course Summary:
In this course, students will learn about the nature and properties of gemstones, the number of mineral species and groups, the different types of crystals and how they are formed. Students will also learn about gem deposits and the various mining methods to extract the gemstones from the earth. Students will be introduced to the 4C's of gemstones (i.e. colour, clarity, cut and carat weight) and the reasons why gemstones are so valuable. Students will learn about the concept of gem lustre and brilliance. Students will be introduced to the modern instruments/equipment which gemologists use (including the loupe, microscope, refractometer, prism spectroscope, polariscope, and dischroscope) to identify gemstones. With the basic understanding of gemological instruments/equipment, students can use them to identify some of the gemstones (ruby, sapphire, emerald, aquamarine, topaz, tourmaline, and quartz) in the practical training sessions.
