ALROSA Diamond Inspector

ALROSA Diamond Inspector

The ALROSA Diamond Inspector is a portable instrument designed to separate diamonds from synthetic diamonds and diamond simulants. It is manually operated but gives an automatic test result and is suitable for both loose and mounted diamonds.

The performance metrics shown below are based on testing done in 2019 using the ASSURE 1.0 test standard and sample sets. The Diamond Inspector has not been tested under ASSURE 2.0.

Stone Testing Capability

Weight: 0.03 ct-10 ct
Size: 2 mm-14.4 mm
Colour: D-J
Shape: All
Diamond Simulants: Yes
Mounted Stones: Yes (not yet ASSURE Tested)

Instrument Performance

The below results demonstrate the performance of the ALROSA Diamond Inspector with the ASSURE 1.0 Core Sample:

Diamond False Positive Rate (optimal rate 0%): 0%
Diamond Referral Rate (optimal rate 0%): 3.6%
Diamond Accuracy Rate (optimal rate 100%): 96.4%
Speed (stones tested per hour): 24

The optimal Diamond False Positive Rate is 0%
The optimal Diamond Referral Rate is 0%
The optimal Diamond Accuracy is 100%

The ASSURE 1.0 Core Sample consists of 1,000 loose diamonds, 200 loose synthetic diamonds and 200 loose diamond simulants. The stones are 0.02ct to 0.20ct in D-J colour.

Instrument Capabilities

Automated Feed: No
Automated Results: Yes
Automated Dispense: No
Detect or Refer (Synthetic Diamonds): Refer
Detect or Refer (Diamond Simulants): Detect
Multiple Stones at Once: No
Training Required: No

The ALROSA Diamond Inspector automatically takes a measurement and displays one of the following results:

  1. Natural
  2. Type IIa (IaB) refer to lab
  3. Treated
  4. Need investigation
  5. Simulant
  6. Check stone

 

The ‘Type IIa (IaB) refer to lab’ and ‘Need investigation’ results could contain potential synthetic diamonds and diamonds. These referrals should be test further for full verification.
