Welcome to The Gemology Project The Gemology Project is a joined effort to bundle as much gemological information as possible and to distribute that knowledge, without cost, to anyone interested in what keeps us off the streets.
This project was started in January 2006 by a small group of gem enthusiasts located on three continents! We have never met in person, but we are bonded by our relentless fascination (a near obsession) with gems and the study of gemology. We envisioned an online destination that would be a totally comprehensive Gem and Gemology site. We chose a wiki as the content manager so all like minded folks could contribute to it and help build it into the finest source of free gemological information in existence!
We hope this will aid visitors with all needs and expectations to quickly find the information they desire. You can find an index in the table of contents. All pages have been written on a volunteer basis. As of yet, not all pages have sufficient information, but this will change as our Gemology Project Family grows. While we do our best to check that all content is accurate and up-to-date, mistakes can be made. New information is available on almost a daily basis. Therefore, we need your participation; let us know if you spot misinformation or a typo. Drop us a note through the discussion channels or submit a correction. Please also read the disclaimer, FAQ and help pages. Perhaps one day, these pages will serve as an online course on gemology, but our intentions will never be to hand out diplomas nor certificates, as only credentials from accredited gemological schools are useful in our industry. At all times, we encourage you to check the writings, ask questions and get involved. Only then will you come out as victorious in your battle with the stones. |
