2026 Advanced Gemstone Inclusions – 2-Day Course
This hands-on two-day course mainly using microscope with polariscope attachment exposes you to Mr John Koivula’s definitions of both typical and atypical inclusions in natural, treated, untreated and synthetic gemstones, honing your diagnostic skills and immersing you deeper into the beauty and wonder of gemstones.
Most of the stones and inclusions have been pre-identified.
This course is divided into two sections:
