The Manhattan Chapter GIA Alumni Collective
is Proud to Present:
Simulants/Imitations and How to Separate
Them in a Gem Lab
with
Virginia Schneider,
GIA Colored Stones Staff Gemologist
We will be exploring common simulants/imitations, natural stones that are often mistaken for each other, and more unusual stones observed in the laboratory. We’ll discuss standard benchtop gemology techniques to aid in separation as well as more in depth advanced testing techniques used in the laboratory.
