Inside the latest Facette Magazine, you’ll find cutting-edge research spanning the full breadth of modern gemmology: from the fast-evolving world of synthetic (coloured) stones and the real challenges they pose for gem identification, to rare finds like Nigerian v\u00e4yrynenite and interesting emeralds coming out of Zambia.<\/p>

This year’s highlights include a fascinating look at how unsupervised machine learning is now being used to determine the geographic origin of Paraiba tourmalines \u2014 a glimpse into how data science is reshaping a centuries-old discipline. Elsewhere, our experts explore DNA testing for precious corals and the latest spectroscopic techniques for detecting treatments in rubies and sapphires.<\/p>
