1 GEMOLOGY GEOL 3140 Syllabus and Guidelines Objectives The primary objectives of this course are to teach you the principles of gemstone identification, appraisal and certification. Other topics covered in the course include the history of gemology, occurrence of gemstones in nature, gemstone enhancement techniques, and synthetic gem materials. The course includes a comprehensive lab component that will give you an opportunity to acquire some basic hands-on experience in gem identification using gemological instruments (refractometer, dichroscope, etc.). Instructor Dr. Anton Chakhmouradian (Department of Geological Sciences, 230 Wallace Building, phone , address CHAKHMOU@cc.umanitoba.ca) Availability for questions/comments: Tuesdays & Thursdays, 3:00-5:00 pm. Feel free to ask questions during or after lectures and labs. Lecture outline (Mon, Wed & Fri; 10:30-11:20 am) Introduction to the course What is a gemstone? Classification of gemstones. Gemology in retrospect. The importance of instrumental methods for gem identification. Famous gemologists and reputable gem collections. Gemological institutes and professional associations. Gem trade and associated professional organizations. Gemstone fashioning Lapidary techniques. Cutting styles. Diamond cuts: a retrospect. Setting styles. Diagnostic properties of gem materials (These lectures focus on the specifics of gemstone identification; for basics on physical and optical properties of minerals, please refer to your lecture notes and texts for GEOL 2500, GEOL 2540 and GEOL 2600) Hardness. Tenacity, cleavage and fracture. Specific gravity and density. Theory of color vision. The nature of color in gemstones. Luster. Optical effects (iridescence, adularescence, play of color, opalescence, aventurine effect, chatoyancy, asterism). Color change and pleochroism. Optical spectra. Transmission, reflection and refraction. Critical angle. Index of refraction. Prism refractometer. High-RI refractometers. Polarization of light. Optical axiality, sign and orientation. Luminescence, fluorescence and phosphorescence. Instrumental methods in gemology Optical stereo microscope and illumination techniques. Filters. Prism, diffraction-grating and digital-scanning spectroscopy. Spectrophotometers. Dichroscope. Photoluminescence tests. Critical-angle and other refractometers. Immersion technique. Polariscope. Thermal conductivity measurements and diamond testers. More advanced testing techniques (X-ray diffraction and micro-diffraction, photoluminescence, etc.) and the problem of prohibitive analytical cost. Cutting-edge analytical techniques (Raman spectroscopy, mass-spectrometry) and their application in gemological research. Inclusions and other inhomogeneities in gemstones Inclusions in inorganic gem materials (pre-existing, syngenetic and epigenetic) and their significance. Growth features and zoning. Deformation features. Twinning. Inclusions in amber. 1
2 Gemstone enhancement Dyeing and color backing. Coating. Composite (assembled) stones. Oiling and impregnation. Heat treatment. Surface diffusion. Irradiation. Inclusion removal. Fracture and cavity filling. Bleaching. What enhancement practices are legitimate? Rules of disclosure. Naturally occurring gemstones and their deposits (This series of lectures will focus on individual types of gemstones. They will be discussed in the order: name and formula > deposits > history of use > characteristic properties > distinction from similar stones. Please note that many gemstone names do not comply with the internationally approved classification of minerals. For instance, even though sapphire and ruby represent the same mineral, they are considered in the gemological literature as two distinct gemstones. For the complete list of gemstones covered in this course, see next page). Synthetic gem materials and imitations Synthetic gemstones and imitations (simulants). History of gemstone synthesis. Diamond synthesis. Verneuil method. Czochralski method. Flux-assisted growth. Floating-zone method. Hydrothermal synthesis. Skull-crucible method. Man-made gem materials with no natural analogues: CZ, YAG, GGG, YIG, lithium niobate, etc. Popular gemstone simulants. How to distinguish imitations and man-made gems from the real thing? A brief history of gemstone use and abuse Gems as cultural heritage. Famous diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds. Famous lapidary works. Trends and fashions in jewelry of the past and present. Gems as energizers and healers? Gem and diamond trade. Conflict diamonds. The history of Canadian diamonds. Labs (Fri 2:30-4:30) The labs are intended to introduce you to the principal methods of gemstone identification, and then test your knowledge and practical skills. You will be trained to use the instruments that constitute the essential arsenal of any gemologist, including the stereoscopic microscope, refractometer, polariscope, dichroscope, spectroscope, Chelsea filter and testers. The training will include work with a representative collection of natural and synthetic gem materials. You will also gain some hands-on experience in using gemological software and printed reference materials. Evaluation procedures* Midterm test (lecture material, March 7) 20% Final exam (lecture material, TBA) 40% Written assignment and presentation in class 15% (presentation and (including literature research, one page essay and minute paper valued equally) presentation on the topic of your choice, to be discussed in the first lab) In-lab test 1 (identification of phenomenal gemstones) 5% In-lab assignment 1 (color characteristics of gemstones) 9% In-lab assignment 2 (characterization and identification of cut gemstones) 11% * To pass this course, you must earn a passing score on both of its components (theory and lab). You are referred to the University of Manitoba Undergraduate Calendar for the University policies on plagiarism, cheating and impersonation at examinations. For further information, see 2
