Interpreting the Results of the Test:

The dark-field loupe is very useful to examine inclusions in coloured stones. Viewing the inclusion against the black background in the viewing well, along with included lighting, makes it much easier to examine the stone. You will find it especially useful in seeing curved striae in synthetic sapphires and rubies and also in seeing flux inclusions.

As important as the dark-field loupe can be when examining coloured gemstones, today it is also an essential tool for anyone buying and selling diamonds or diamond jewellery because there are so many fracture filled diamonds in circulation worldwide. Using the dark-field loupe is by far the easiest way to spot these type of stones.
