About this event

Explore the inner world of gemstones!

This observation based one-day workshop will look at the nature of inclusions in the four major gemstones, diamond, ruby, sapphire and emerald, and will explain why they are important to gemmologists.

What you will learn:

Attendees will learn how inclusions form, the different types of inclusions found within gemstones and how to describe them. Plus, this workshop will explain how gemmologists can use inclusions to help identify a gemstone, and establish whether it is natural, treated or synthetic, and understand how and where that gem has formed.

Who is this workshop for?

Those that have experience with gemmology or have completed the Gem-A range of "Introduction Workshops".
