There are many different types of gemstones that can be refractometers. The best type of refractometer for a variety of applications is the beryl refractometer. This type of refractometer has a very high resolution and is perfect for measuring small angles in gems.
1. Gem-n-Eye Refractometer (Digital)
If you’re looking for an accurate and easy to use Refractometer, the Gem-n-Eye Refractometer is the perfect choice. It has internal database of 200 gems, so there’s no need to convert values or cross reference to separate charts, or plug into a computer – it’s already a computer! The Gem-n-Eye also includes Diamond and its many simulants, along with Zircon and certain Garnets that are beyond the reach of traditional Refractometers. Additionally, the Gem-n-Eye is accurate to about .010 of an RI value, so you can be sure you’re getting the best possible results. And because it’s designed mainly for faceted gems, it gives you a digital readout[i2pc show_title=”false” show_button=”false” pros_title=”Pros” cons_title=”Cons” ][i2pros] Accurate to about .010 of an RI value

Pick The Best Digital Gemstone Refractometers Based On Your Needs
How do you use a refractometer for gemstones?
To use the refractometer, open the lid, then place a small amount of R.I. fluid on the refractometer’s measuring glass using the bottle’s built-in dropper. This fluid is necessary to create “optical contact” between the glass and the gemstone.
Is the gemological refractometer out of stock?
This item is temporarily Out of Stock. A Gemological Refractometer is your primary and most powerful tool in gemstone identification. As with any typical critical angle refractometer, it will measure the Refractive Index of faceted stones, transparent to near opaque, whether loose or mounted (in many cases), up to an R. I. value of 1.81.
What does a refractometer measure?
As with any typical critical angle refractometer, it will measure the Refractive Index of faceted stones, transparent to near opaque, whether loose or mounted (in many cases), up to an R. I. value of 1.81. We are proud to feature here the respected Gem-A brand of Refractometer, which is Professional grade, as seen in the photo.

We are proud to feature here the respected Gem-A brand of Refractometer, which is Professional grade, as seen in the photo. This model is sturdily built and of the finest quality. It includes an integrated Monochromatic Filter precluding the need for a special monochromatic illuminating light.
Conclusion
The refractometers are a great way to measure the color of gems and minerals. They use a mirror to reflect light at specific angles, and then read the color difference. This allows you to measure the brightness, hue, and other features of gemstones.
