the past 30 years, we have gained a valuable experience in the international
gem industry. As a result, vast amounts of firsthand verifiable data
has been accumulated from multiple sources, each serving a specific
purpose; thus, over the years we have built an enormous data base,
image bank, and reference specimens collection from many gem deposits
situated in Colombia, Myanmar (Burma), Tanzania, Thailand, Sri-Lanka
and elsewhere. In our archives include various cultural and ethnological
features connected with the daily life in the globalized gem industry
especially in Southeast Asia.
Currently, three titles are available for immediate
sale: The Heat Treatment of Ruby & Sapphire, Mogôk-Valley
of Rubies & Sapphires and Beryllium-Treated Rubies &
Sapphires. Two more authoritative titles are currently under
publication: Gems & Mines of Mogôk and Gem Treatments
& Enhancements. You can also chose and purchase our Gemlab
Reports by Ted Themelis covering a wide range of gemological
topics.
