Details

The thermal meter works with any stone, loose or mounted in jewellery, even uncut stones. The only condition is that the stone (and tester) must be at room temperature. It is the same as the basic Presidium model (thermal meter only),  it tests for 17 common groups of gemstones (about 40 varieties),  enlarge the product picture to see the scale in detail.  The reflectivity meter works on loose (not mounted) stones with a perfectly flat, perfectly polished surface, than can be rested over the sensor, it is not affected by temperature.
