This video is from the Research Track of the 2018 GIA International Gemological Symposium. The Research Track presented the latest findings by Institute researchers and scientists respected across the industry and from around the world.
This presentation is part of the theme, Gem Localities and Gem Formation. The conditions of formation play a significant role in creating the characteristic features of gem materials. Documenting the geology of gem deposits helps to identify natural, treated and synthetic gems. Market preferences play a role, as seen in the demand for stones from specific geographic localities and the growing interest in gems that do not require any treatment to enhance their appearance. The general public is increasingly concerned that human rights and the environment are protected at gem mining operations, thereby increasing interest in gems that are produced by methods that minimize damage to the environment or that support the development of local communities. Presentations will cover these industry concerns and developments.
