Hello,

I am interested to know which special system or machine you use in grading the quality of your diamonds. I am not a gemologist.

I am actually, a rice grain quality researcher who is interested in identifying a plausible method that I can use to quantitatively grade rice grain translucency. Rice varieties have varying physical attributes including translucency but we currently do not have the method to measure this trait.

By identifying this method, we will be able to address questions connected to rice grain components and hopefully find the biomarkers that rice breeders can use to develop high quality rice that consumers prize.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,
Crystal

Try using a Diamond Eye and measure the Luster.
