Abstract

The role of Raman spectroscopic studies in identifying natural and synthetic gemstones is comprehensively evaluated. Input to provenance studies and correlation of spectral data with combined techniques. Distinguishing gems from glass and the detection of fakes and results from the improvement of the quality of gemstones by artificial methods. Case studies of jade, corals, pearls, ivory and ambers. Development of onsite interrogation of jewelled reliquaries and monstrances.
