What is gemology ?
Gemology is the science of gem materials, and a specialized offshoot of an older branch of science mineralogy. Study gemology covers all technical aspects of gemstones and gem materials.
Their chemical, physical and optical properties, the techniques used for the production of gem imitations and synthetics, the cutting and polishing of gemstones, and more importantly the gemology course methods and instruments employed in the identification, grading and appraisal of gemstones.
The term ‘gem material’ covers an enormous range of possibilities. Most gem materials are minerals, but of the 3000 or so, minerals known to man, only about 70 families / 500 stones are considered to possess the qualities attributed to that special category called gemstones.

Sok heng, Pui San, Chiew Sum & Sing Kwan, from Malaysia “Awesome visit – interesting and eye opening” – Great place to visit! We took the 1 hour lesson, which ended up to be a bit longer due to the great amount of knowledge that was being shared by Jean. Jean was great at not just explaining the different types of stones, but was also great at bringing it to life in the cambodian context as well as with very cool stories. Also very great demonstrations in the lab where you actually get to see different types of gems and try to figure out which one is real, treated or synthetic! There is also a great selection of local cambodian Gems to purchase at very reasonable prices after the lesson. Learnt a lot, had a lot of fun and left with a nice cambodian gem and a new found appreciation for gemology! – February 5, 2016 | |

Jeanne-Pierre spent far more than the allocated hour and was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic on the subject of gemmology.
