Using for Appraisal:
- White Light: Ideal for observing the internal texture and clarity of jade and other gemstones. The strong white light helps reveal fine details and inclusions.
- Light Yellow: Useful for examining specific color variations and subtle characteristics in certain stones where white light might be too harsh.
- UV Lights (365nm & 395nm): Essential for detecting fluorescence in gemstones, identifying treated stones, and verifying currency. Different UV wavelengths can reveal distinct reactions.
