<p>[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 4255711, member: 18716"]If you get one you will be disappointed, go and read the professional gemologists forums and see what they say about it. Any slight scratch, flaw or dust will throw off your readings. Repeatability is poor, ie you get different readings each time you put the same stone on. Also look at their videos, they have perfectly polished stones to work with. Presidium II is useful as it works well in the field to give you an idea then you can check at base with more accurate kit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
