Review: Testing gemstones - Excellent Seller! Purchase a Presidium gemstone tester! I love it! Thank you!
Review: Inaccurate - worked for less than a year before it became unusable - It worked for less than a year. For the price point, it should be way better quality. It now reads “slip detected” constantly - even when it’s not against the stone yet. It’ll provide a reading before the tip has touched the stone. You can test the same stone twice to multiple different results. Save your money & buy any other machine to help you out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good Useful Tool to have
*by A***A on April 28, 2025*

Great tester, as other reviews have stated You have to have some Knowledge of Gemstones while using this pen which I had no problem with, you can go on the Presidium Website and Download the Spreadsheet of Gems if you’re not sure. As far as Diamond if I wasn’t holding the pen straight and at an angle it would read Sapphire and Ruby, you need to hold the Tester at a straight angle to get an accurate reading, held straight tested for only Diamond. I just wish this one Included an option for testing moissanite!
