Diamond Gemology Courses C (6)_0_0.jpg

Discover why the Diamond is so unique.

You will discover this fascinating stone, its unique chemical composition, understand the secrets of color and clarity, as well as the savoir-faire of cut. You will handle stones and learn to use gemological tools.

About the Course

The only gemstone composed of one single chemical element, the Diamond hides so many mysteries: the miracle of its birth, its totally improbable meeting up with human beings, and the five characteristics with determining its supreme hardness.

The course "Fascinating Diamonds 2: Science and Gemology" includes the knowledge covered and the experiments done during the course "The Diamond: A gemological exception"; it is therefore not recommended for the same person to do both courses.
