Re: Quantifying Diamond Fluorescence and Its Visual Impact

Bruce Tourm - Love the idea that fluorescence in colored gems can enhance color, as well as reduce color in diamonds with the complimentary effect!
I have researched this topic to death, and last week did a webinar with Branko Dejalin, the Vancouver based scientist who runs a lab there.

Re: recut software

Hi,
I was talking about Gemological Tools Professional? Is Diamcalc no loger available? The recut function in GTI is very easy to use and provides a 2D profile image of what the stone was, and what is will be after recut, making the calculation of weight loss.

Thank ...

Re: India's Home-Grown Diamonds

For the same reason the US government and India are supporting grown diamonds.
It is part of a global commercial war.
Explain, please.
India and USA have the most to win from LGDs. Those two countries governments are supporting the man-made diamond business aggressively.

Bill Boyajian as President was pushed onto his sword.

After the publication of the article linked below - Will GIA Grade and Rate Diamond Transparency?

Re: recut software

Hi,

I have been using the recut function of GTI, for years with great satisfaction. The shortcoming of the program, for me at least, is that I can only use it for round stones.
Is anybody aware of a similar program that could be used with different shapes than round?

Thank you in advance for your ...
