Abstract: Systems and methods here may be used for automated capturing and analyzing spectrometer data of multiple sample gemstones on a stage, including mapping digital camera image data of samples, applying a Raman Probe to a first sample gemstone under evaluation on the stage, receiving spectrometer data of the sample gemstone from the probe, automatically moving the stage to a second sample, using the image data, and analyzing the other samples.

Abstract: Provided herein is an apparatus for assessing a fluorescence characteristic of a gemstone. The apparatus comprises an optically opaque platform for supporting a gemstone to be assessed, one or more light source to provide uniform UV and non-UV illumination, an image capturing component, and a telecentric lens positioned to provide fluorescent images of the illuminated gemstone to the image capturing component. Also provided are methods of fluorescence analysis based on images collected using such an apparatus.

Abstract: Some examples herein include systems and methods of creating standards of gemstones of various classifications, which may display certain characteristics of the various classifications when excited by ultraviolet radiation and fluoresce in response. In some examples, a set of standards are created using fluorescent material, filters, and a radiation source to compare against a sample gemstone. In some examples, specific Light Emitting Diodes are selected to illuminate the gemstone samples under analysis.
