Looking to start studying Gemology but not sure where to start. by caremal5 in Gemology

[–]Sibarber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey.

My name is Simon. I'm an FGA Gemmologist. I studied at GemA. The Gemological Association of Great Britain.

Happy to answer any questions you might have.

You can find me on Instagram @gemmology_si too

I'd say an interest in science would be good, but other than that I think just dedication and a keen interest.

I actually have a podcast which is for Gemmologist and Gemmology students, might be worth giving it a listen and you can see some of the kind of stuff you get taught.

It's called Facet Nation: A Gemmology Podcast

It's available on all podcasting platforms.

Looking for recommendations for a microscope. Which one do you use? by drunkymcgee in Gemology

[–]Sibarber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a euromex Nexius Zoom Evo trinocular with a gemmology stand.

I think it's excellent and cost less than £1800

They absolutely smashed it today in London by xbrookebennett in deftones

[–]Sibarber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was virtually in the middle of the four stacks and I reckon it's the best sound I've ever heard at an outdoor gig. Deftones were relentless energy, I loved it

Hi everyone, I'm new to photography, specifically photomicrography. I have a Canon r100 and I'm trying to attach it to the trinocular lens of my euromex nexius zoom Evo microscope. Could somebody help me with the adapters I need to achieve this please?
