  • Grapes & Garnet

    Garnets can be confusing, complex and the science behind isomorphous series is confounding for many. How can we make it easier to understand?

    Did you know that numerous gemstones exhibit unique glowing features and colors when subjected to long wave and short wave light? In this event we teach you how this characteristic allows us to distinguish and identify gemstones, as well as detect certain synthetic gems and treated stones.
