The most important aspect of the Refractometer is the quality of the fluid and its Refractive Index. This product has a Refractive Index value of 1.81RI and is THE best product for accurate GEM Identification.

The 4.0ml vial has an applicator rod inside the cap for easy application and holds 3.6ml of fluid (so the vial ALMOST full!).  The big, factory sealed bottle only has 2.5ml (the 10 gram bottle)! 

This is the BEST deal for the money!

The Gem Refractometer Liquid has a refractive index of nD = 1.810, the highest of any liquid not containing arsenic. As the name implies, it is widely used with gem refractometers as a contact medium for the identification of gemstones. This light yellow liquid can also be used to reduce or eliminate glare from a gem's surface, facilitating inspection of the gem's interior for inclusions and other defects.

This liquid is supplied by a highly reputable American supplier in bulk and repackaged in an amber glass bottle. The cap has a plastic applicator rod attached to it on the inside, designed to deliver a small droplet.

To ensure the liquids maximum shelf life, keep this liquid tightly sealed after opening, store it away from direct light and in moderate temperatures.
