I want to personally introduce to the group the newest smart phone app designed for people in the jewelry industry. My company has recently launched MetdiaGem(TM), an easy to use and understand reference designed for iPhone/iPod Touch and Android phone devices. This app allows you to access all the information needed to accurately identify all widely accepted gem species/varieties. It includes, but is not limited to, the following:
1) Detailed gem species information, including chemical formula, crystal system, specific gravity, hardness, toughness, dispersion, transparency, polish luster, fracture, fracture luster, cleavage, heat reaction, chemical reaction, light reaction, ultrasonic cleaning, steam cleaning, soapy water cleaning, and variety-by-species information with accompanying notes (where applicable),
2) Detailed gem variety information, including refractive index, birefringence, optical, general size, species, color, other varieties typically confused with, separations, enhancement, and source information with accompanying notes (where applicable), and image(s) for most varieties,
3) Jewelry metal melting temperature information (Both Fahrenheit and Celsius), including common base metal and other materials melting information for comparison,
4) Jewelry metal specific gravity information, including common base metal and other materials specific gravity information for comparison,
5) A weight conversion calculator, with the following weight scales included: carats, troy drams, grains, grams, kilograms, ounces, pennyweights, pounds, pounds troy, taels (Hong Kong), tolas, and troy ounces.
Outside the app itself, the best feature is that it is self-contained: you do not need an active Wi-Fi or cellular data connection to access the app's content after the initial download (other than updates). This allows you to travel anywhere and still access pertinent gem information without being hampered by a lack of a Wi-Fi connection or cellular data service.
The app is available for purchase on the App Store, Google Play, and Amazon for USD $4.99. You may view example screen shots of the app by going to www.metdia.com/products/metdiagem.
Since I am a GIA Graduate Gemologist, I personally worked to ensure this product is of the highest standards and will meet or exceed your expectations. For me, it is the perfect app that consolidates most of the information contained in your many references into one easy-to-use phone application that you can put in your pocket.
If you have any questions about the software, please feel free to message me.
Sincerely,
Scott
