The Gemological Science International, (GSI), announced yesterday that it had commenced   “batch testing for star and melee sized diamonds using the latest state-of-the-art technology”. 

 “The infiltration of synthetics into the melee trade has become a legitimate concern to the industry.  We, at GSI, view ourselves as a highly technologically savvy entity and are proud to boast bright and talented professionals in our ranks. This combination allows us to deliver this testing method, which may be the long awaited solution to the time consuming and inefficient method of testing used till now.” said GSI CEO Mark Gershburg. “We are extremely happy to offer this service in Surat and hope to expand its use to our offices in Mumbai.”
