Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas Moderated By Me
This is a very useful instrument called a Dichroscope. Some doubly refractive gemstones display what is known as Pleochroism (gr. many colors). For instance, the unknown red cabochon show red and orange colors when the tube is rotated. The examination is conducted under cool diffused light.

Greetings from the "entertainment capital of the world!" That is Las Vegas, Nevada. Known to the locals and visitors as also "Sin City." I am the "G.G." on the strip. That is: The only Graduate Gemologist on the strip where all the gaudy megaresorts are located. I am often the final arbiter of BLING here. I get to identify and evaluate all kinds of diamonds and colored stones set and unset in jewelry. I have a lot of famous people with instantly recognizable names as clients here, makes me famous too! My fondest wish is for people to just get along with each other. A wish that is yet to be fulfilled.
