Leuenberger (ALine GmbH, Switzerland) and Nirina Rakotosaona (Madagascar)). Microscopic observation of one of these samples revealed the presence of numerous tiny zircon inclusions together with several hollow channels filled with a orangey brown epigenetic material, with no evident features indicating heat treatment (Figure 1). Careful spectroscopic investigation of this sample revealed a paradox. Its FTIR spectrum exhibited peaks at 3231 and 3184 cm<sup>\u20131<\/sup> (Figure 2), as would be expected in a stone subjected to heat treatment. However, Raman analyses of the deep channel-structures confirmed that they were filled with goethite, a Fe-hydroxide which dehydrates to hematite (Fe-oxide) at temperatures between 300\u00b0C and 325\u00b0C, a range far below conventional and \u2018low-temperature\u2019 heat treatments of corundum. Therefore, the identification of goethite inclusions in this pink sapphire provided proof that the stone had not been heated.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b0dc13 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6b0dc13\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"603\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssef.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/434_Fig_2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-47882\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssef.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/434_Fig_2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ssef.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/434_Fig_2-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ssef.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/434_Fig_2-768x452.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Figure 2: FTIR spectrum of the described unheated pink sapphire.

Consequently, their presence is not always a criterion for heat treatment. It is clear from this study that careful Raman analyses of inclusions found within a gemstone (such as goethite, diaspore and zircon) is mandatory to conclude whether or not a ruby or sapphire (of any colour) has been heat treated.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FTIR spectroscopy has long been used to detect heat treatment of corundum via the presence of specific absorption bands related to structurally bonded hydroxyl groups in corundum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":47866,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[626],"tags":[726],"library_category":[],"library_author":[],"class_list":["post-47864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-research-blog","tag-sapphire"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
