Barbra,

Thank you for the gemnotes research studies information.
I particularly enjoyed the polycrystalline diamond short paper and the unheated yellow sapphire with misleading inclusions.
Fascinating!

Can someone supply me with Thomas Hainschwang's mailing address in Leichtenstine?

If someone wants to research where the site is, or isn't, that would be useful.

Someone wants to give me the complete URL or DNS and I'll do it.

[Barbra Voltaire, FGG]

I think simply telephoning the lab when it's open would be an excellent idea.

Thanks Danielle,

One gets this if the site is pinged:

Not necessarily a problem at GemLab. More likely some bad crash at whoever hosts their server.

The information Owen posted above is for gemtechlab.ch.
http://www.gemtechlab.ch is functional, but it is not the site we are referring to.

re: gemlab.net:
The site doesn't appear to be down, as going to gemlab.net returns a 403 (forbidden error) as opposed to a 500 (server error) or a page not found. I pinged the site, and was getting packets back so I'm pretty sure it's not down.

So...if someone would kindly place a phone call, it would be appreciated.

Hi Barbra and Kerensky ,

I'm sorry Kerensky : yesterday at night , I have posted the adress of gemtechlab and after I have deleted my post ... this it is not the site of Thomas Hainschwang .

I have written to the electronic adress I've read on This page : maybe shall I receive an answer ?

Recently I read some articles of him , which mention the adress of gemtechlab ...
I read also that he is actually preparing a doctorat in Nantes and has let his site for a while . So his mail adress seems to be the only way for entering in relation with him .

* I have also found a new address , very promising : Gemmoscience : Multidisciplinary Scientific Group for Gemological Research

Hoping it will help you ...
Have a good day !
