Working with Indian Gemological Institute – Gem Testing Laboratory, Delhi as an Executive (Gemologist) since March 2012. I believe nature has its own language, which I am trying to understand by means of science and equipment. Sometime I fail and sometime I succeed.

I would like to share my work and little understanding of Gemology through this blog.

I hope all shall enjoy and find it informative.

Suggestions are always welcome with a positive disposition.
