Spectroscope

Prism Spectroscope
Prism spectroscope works on the principle of dispersion. Dispersion is defined as the splitting of white light into its constituent colours.

A spectroscope is used to determine if a gemstone is a natural material or a synthetic material.

A "spectroscope" contains a prism (or a diffraction grating) which serves to disperse incoming light.

Spectroscope...Instrument which resolves light into its component wavelengths by refraction through prisms or diffraction grating.

The spectroscope is sometimes used to separate natural from synthetic gem materials, as variations in chemical composition can be revealed in the absorption spectrum of light transmitted through the stone.

A spectroscope is used to determine the absorption spectra of a mineral. accessory mineral Mineral that occurs with other minerals.

Viewed through the spectroscope in a strong light, it generally shows three characteristic absorption bands. Almandine is one end-member of a mineral solid solution series, with the other end member being the Garnet pyrope. Mohs Scale hardness 7 - 7.

Absorption Spectrum
Pattern of dark lines or bands seen when a gem is viewed through a spectroscope.
Jewelry Frequently Asked Questions
How can I test pearls and care for them?

Heating changes the absorption spectra and can usually be detected with a spectroscope.

They can be detected with a Chelsea filter (stained stones show a "brownish-red residual color") or a spectroscope (look for "three vague lines in the red part of the spectrum").
This gemstone has been mentioned as early in history as 23 A.D.
