Performing A Test With Your Synthetic Ruby Identifier - PRESIDIUM Synthetic Ruby Identifier Manual Del Usuario

2. Performing a test with your
Synthetic Ruby Identifier
The Synthetic Ruby Identifier can only work accurately with known
rubies and in identifying the commonly found synthetic flame fusion
ruby amongst known rubies.
Before you begin a test, ascertain that the type of red stone that you
are testing is a known ruby. There are many ways to check this based
on the inherent properties of rubies. One way you can check is to
use the Presidium Gem Tester which tests based on the gemstone's
property of thermal conductivity. If your red stone falls within the Ruby
– Sapphire range, you are likely to have a known ruby.
Once you know your stone is a ruby, you can proceed to use the
Synthetic Ruby Identifier to check if it is a synthetic flame fusion ruby.
The "Start Test" button located at the top right corner of the device
