Polish cut gemstones to final finish using progressive abrasive sequences. Covers pre-polish sanding, polishing compounds, lap selection, and quality assessment for both cabochons and faceted stones. Use when a cabochon or faceted stone has completed cutting and is ready for polishing, selecting the correct compound and lap for a specific species, troubleshooting a polish that will not reach full lustre (orange peel, haze, scratches), or re-polishing a stone with surface wear.

Identify gemstones using optical properties, physical tests, and inclusion analysis. Covers refractive index, specific gravity, pleochroism, spectroscopy indicators, and common simulant detection. Use when identifying an unknown gemstone, verifying a seller's claim about species identity, distinguishing natural stones from simulants or synthetics, building gemological literacy through structured observation, or identifying rough material before cutting to ensure safe handling.

Cut gemstones using cabochon and faceting techniques. Covers rough assessment, orientation for optimal color and yield, dopping, cutting angles, and crown/pavilion geometry for standard brilliant cuts. Use when you have rough gemstone material to cut into a cabochon or faceted stone, planning cutting orientation for optimal colour or optical phenomena, setting up a cabbing or faceting machine, or selecting the appropriate cutting approach for a given material.

Field identification of minerals and ores using hardness, streak, luster, cleavage, crystal habit, and simple chemical tests. Covers the systematic elimination methodology, Mohs scale application, and common ore indicators for precious metals, gemstones, and industrial minerals. Use when encountering an unknown rock or mineral specimen, when prospecting and assessing whether a site shows valuable mineral indicators, when distinguishing ore-bearing rock from barren rock in the field, or when building geological literacy through systematic observation.

Appraise gemstone value using the four Cs (color, clarity, cut, carat), origin assessment, treatment detection, and market factor analysis. Advisory educational guidance only — not a certified appraisal. Use when understanding factors that determine a gemstone's value, pre-screening stones before a professional appraisal, evaluating whether a seller's asking price is reasonable, learning gemstone grading methodology, or understanding how treatment status affects value.
