    Mr Zeng firmly believes gem testing experience together with the state-of-art testing instruments are paramount\u00a0 to ensure a high standard conclusion. The identification of gem & its treatments often depends upon the analysis performed with spectrometers. Besides standard gemological instruments, the analytical instruments present in our laboratory comprises:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
