Gem-A has recently acquired a GemmoRaman; it is a very useful and easy tool to use with intuitive software producing quick results. The hardware component is fully self-contained and robust, and it interacts efficiently and effectively not only with the inbuilt database, but also with 3rd party databases, such as RUFF. This combination allows more in depth searches to be performed, and opens up a realm of possibilities for the future. Alberto and Mikko are very flexible, approachable and communicative, very easy to deal with, and provide fast, efficient support whatever the situation.

GemmoRaman-532 equipment was first presented to us during the International Gemmological Congress organized by IGE in January 2014. We were really pleased to see first portable and economic Raman-PL spectrometer oriented specifically to our field. After seen it working during the extended presentation and hands-on sessions, we were really impressed by the quality of this equipment and decided to purchase it for our Laboratory and also to promote it among our students and affiliates...

The Spanish Gemmological Institute (IGE, Instituto Gemológico Español) is a non-profit association founded in 1967 with the aim to study, teach and promote gemmology in Spain. Currently it has more than 400 associated jewellery and gemology professionals and firms in Spain and other countries. It is also one of the founding members of FEEG (Federation of European Education of Gemmology).

Lotus Gemology believes there is purity in simplicity. It is simple to make something complex—art is removing the noise, allowing one to focus on what is important. When we were looking for a Raman spectrometer for our lab, we wanted something where both hardware and software were tailored specifically for gem testing, where unnecessary elements were either hidden or removed. After seeing a demonstration of the GemmoRaman, we were hooked. Not only is the physical design pure and elegant, but this carries over to the software. The GemmoRaman is made by gemologists for gemologists. We recommend it without reservation.

Richard W. Hughes is widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost experts on ruby and sapphire. The author of several books and over 150 articles on gems and gemology, his writings and photographs have appeared in a diverse range of publications. In a lengthy career, Richard has received numerous industry awards. Lotus Gemology started with a simple idea - beauty is the principle source of attraction for precious stones. Thus it should also be the major focus of gemology. In other words, the GEM is the most important part of gemology.

I appreciate the compact yet very powerful capabilities of the GemmoRaman equipment. Though we already have Raman equipment, when we saw the expanded photoluminescence abilities of the GemmoRaman I knew Stone Group Labs needed it to complement the rest of our lab equipment. Not only can it identify thousands of different gem and mineral types, it can perform diagnostic functions. For me the imperative part of the GemmoRaman was knowing what’s inside....what you don’t see. Having the best engine under the bonnet is what this robust machine is about. That’s the important part.

We were looking for Raman system for last 5 years before we contacted MAGI and we found what filled our expectations, as it fulfills most of routine testing tasks, works fast and fits in budget. System is made by gemologist to gemologists, that's means, you could start work in 5 minutes after installation and all tools are available directly from producer. System has "smart" design and has automatic features, which enhance your productivity!

Gemmoraman is absolutely the key tool for all gemologists. It gives reliability and confidence by comparing results to Raman and PL spectral libraries. It's also great tool for appraisers. Testing stones set in jewellery is easy and quick. DiaGuard is necessary extra tool for screening different diamond types - HPHT and CVD synthetics and possible treatments. Gemmoraman-532 library is constantly updated, which gives you all new scientific material instantly to use. After one year use I can warmly recommend this magnificent tool for every gemologist and appraiser.

House of Tillander was established 1860, and it carries over 150 years tradition in jewellery business.

My work has drastically changed since I started using the Gemmoraman. My workflow has become so much more efficient in the determination of gemstones and of course the detecting of treatments and synthetics. The Gemmoraman also gives me a possibility to attach a scientific reading as proof to an appraisal or expertise, and to keep the reading on file, which for me is very important. Before my purchase I had looked at so many different raman spectrometers, but there was no comparison. I always landed back at the MAGI website. The Gemmoraman is a sturdy, precise and reliable piece of equipment with an outstanding client and update service. The portability of this unit by the way is quite remarkable, and suits my needs perfectly.
