Ltd. in order to take the advantage of the popularity of orange red (see figure 2). 'Paraiba' tourmalines. Thereafter, we procured sets of various coloured beryls and corundum from the same manufacturer for our research and reference purpose. The study of these sets has been divided into two parts; this issue describes the study of beryl set, while the study of corundum set will be published in the next issue. 2.a 2.c 2.e The Beryl set consisted of five colour varieties (figure 1), namely, green (emerald), light blue (aquamarine), electric greenish blue (paraiba type), purple pink and orange red. All specimens were facetted as square step and measured 6 X 6 mm. 2.b 2.d 2.f Figure 2 Pleochroic colours of Tairus created Beryls Absorption Spectrum:Spectrum : The spectrum varied as per the colour variety; emerald showed a typical chromium spectrum while 'paraiba' colour displayed a strong band at around 430 nm. Purple pink and orange red varieties exhibited strong bands at 460 to 490 and 550 to 600 nm. UV fluorescence:fluorescence : All samples were inert to long wave as well as short wave UV light.

    SYNTHETIC GEM MATERIALS INTHE2000S: A DECADE IN REVIEW Nathan Renfro, John I. Koivula, Wuyi Wang, and Gary Roskin The first decade of the 2000s brought a constant flow of previously known synthetics into the marketplace, but little in the way of new technology. The biggest development was the commer- cial introduction of faceted single-crystal gem-quality CVD synthetic diamonds. A few other inter- esting and noteworthy synthetics, such as Malossi hydrothermal synthetic emeralds and Mexifire synthetic opals, also entered the market. Identification of synthetic gem materials continued to be an important function of—and, in some cases, challenge for—gemologists worldwide. he development of synthetics and the method- lished literature that the most significant develop- ologies used to detect new and existing materi- ments—and the focus of most research—during this Tals is of great importance to the international decade involved the production of gem-quality syn- gem community.

Nantes has progressively gained a reputation in the science of gemmology since Prof. Bernard Lasnier created the Diplôme d’Université de Gemmologie (DUG) in the early 1980s. Several DUGs or PhDs have since made a name for themselves in international gemmology. In addition, the town of Nantes has been on several occasions recognized as a very attractive, green town, with a high quality of life. This regional capital is also an important hub for the industry (e.g. agriculture, aeronautics), education and high-tech. It has only recently developed tourism even if has much to offer, with its historical downtown, the beginning of the Loire river estuary, and the ocean close by.

Mathieu Van Meerbeeck Academiejaar 2009–2010 Scriptie voorgelegd tot het behalen van de graad van Master in de Geologie Promotor: Prof. Dr. K. De Corte Co-promotor: Prof. Dr. P. Van den haute Leescommissie: Prof. Dr. P. De Paepe, Prof. Dr. P. Vandenabeele PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I’d like to thank my promotor Prof. Dr. Katrien De Corte and HRD Antwerp for giving me the opportunity to perform this unique investigation. Her support, enthusiasm, patience and criticism during the progress of this research have really inspired me. I’m also thankful for the scientific, technical and gem-related assistance of her colleagues, Jef Van Royen and Anita Colders. Nathalie Crepin also gets some of the credit, by providing me with important articles. It has also been nice working with the research staff in Lier, with special attention to the head of research, Mr. Yves Kerremans, and lab assistant Wendy Lembrechts, who initiated me with the instrumentation. The recognised experience of professor Peter Van den Haute, my co-promotor, truly helped me create a fully scientifically based work. My appreciation goes to Prof. Dr. P. De Paepe and Prof. Dr. P. Vandenabeele as well, who put time and effort in the critical analysis of this thesis. I also show my gratitude to my colleague student and friend Tim Verstraeten, who performed a similar study on sapphires. He was a great co-worker during data acquirement and our discussions lead me to several new insights.
