Premium Gemological Immersion & Specific Gravity Testing Liquid (RI 1.765 / SG 3.32)
Ensure absolute accuracy in your jewelry appraisal, buying, and laboratory sorting workflows with this professional Immersion / SG Liquid. Manufactured from high-purity Methylene Iodide (Diiodomethane), this premium chemical formulation is an essential diagnostic fluid for gemologists, loose stone dealers, and jewelry manufacturers.
By utilizing fixed physical principles—Specific Gravity (SG) and Refractive Index (RI)—this heavy fluid bypasses the limitations of basic electronic testers to deliver definitive, foolproof results for loose gemstones.
🔬 Advanced Refractive Index Matching & Treatment Detection
Engineered with a precise optical Refractive Index of 1.765, this immersion fluid perfectly matches the optical characteristics of natural corundum. When unmounted rubies or sapphires are submerged:
-
Eliminates Surface Glare: Outer facet reflections disappear completely, giving an unobstructed view inside the stone.
-
Exposes Hidden Treatments: Easily spot lattice diffusion layers, glass/resin fracture fillings, and composite assembly lines in gemstone doublets or triplets.
-
Origin Diagnostics: Allows rapid analysis of internal "fingerprint" inclusions and natural color-zoning to help verify gemstone origin.
💎 Instant Moissanite vs. Genuine Diamond Separation
Operating at a calibrated natural density of 3.32 SG, this heavy liquid offers an un-fakeable physical sorting method for loose parcels. Because electronic testers can be tricked by thermal conductivity, this density test provides physical certainty:
-
Loose Moissanite (3.22 SG) Floats cleanly on the surface of the fluid.
-
Genuine Diamond (3.52 SG) Sinks rapidly directly to the bottom.
