Gemology is one of the mineralogical science and is facing a great challenge to identify various natural, synthetic and simulant gem materials, especially the geographic origin determination of high value gemstones is strongly required by gem trade and consumer. However, gemologist and research scientist in gemological laboratories must improve on their experience in identification skills, geological field studies, collecting available samples and establish an informative data base by combination of traditional gemological observations and advanced analytical instrumentations. It is very important to understand the new finding gemstone deposits and gemstone treatment procedures and development of advance sophisticated instrumentation to support the difficulties of gemological identification.
