Abstract
The "Second Issue of Contributions
to Gemology" focuses on the latest news from the world
of gemological discoveries.
New mines producing "pigeon's blood"
rubies and vibrant colored spinels have been found in a
remote part of Northern Burma (Myanmar) called "Namya".
An intriguing GRS expedition to Namya in 2001 is documented
in a photo album and VCD movie report.
Gemological research and identification of the new rubies
and spinels from Namya include the use of latest technology
for chemical analyses (LA-ICP-MS).
Two more of the world's rarest collector
gemstones - "Painite" - have been found which
resulted in scientific research cooperation.
Part B of the contribution to the understanding
of a new treatment for corundum is the research on Beryllium-treated
pink sapphires and rubies.
