Colored Stone Reports

These reports document the results of a full gemological examination of a material, identifying the material examined and detailing such characteristics as color, transparency, shape, cut, and dimensions weight and a color photo. The full report states whether the material is natural or synthetic and if it has been treated to enhance its appearance by an identifiable treatment. The report also notes whether the material is a simulant with no known natural counterpart, or if it has been assembled from two or more separate components.

GIA Colored Stone Identification Reports are issued on any polished or rough, loose or mounted gem material. Natural Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Tourmaline and Alexandrite received a report format tailored to the specific gem material.

Analytical reports professionally document the results of a full examination of the material as in the GIA Identification Report. In addition, the Analytical Report provides the full data from which conclusions were reached. The data included would be normal gemological data such as RI, SG, visual spectroscopy, fluorescence, inclusions, color distribution, plus UV/visible/NIR, IR, and Raman spectroscopy and chemistry as appropriate.

These reports are issued on any polished or rough, loose or mounted gem material. For natural Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Tourmaline and Alexandrite this report format is tailored to the specific gem material. For natural Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, or Tourmaline the determination of the geographic origin may be included upon request and when it is possible to establish.
