ClearEX GEM captures the gemstone throughout a full 360° rotation under controlled lighting conditions. This provides a detailed view of the stone’s true color, color distribution, zoning, and visible changes from different directions. The captured data can be used both for documentation and as an important input for advanced analysis and polishing planning.
The system performs a complete scan of the gemstone’s outer contour to create an accurate representation of its external geometry. Shape, proportions, profile, and dimensions are captured to provide the foundation for a precise 3D model and for calculating possible polishing solutions.
After the gemstone is immersed in a suitable refractive-index liquid, ClearEX GEM captures its internal structure and maps inclusions, cracks, and other internal features. These features are positioned inside a 3D model, allowing the user to understand not only where an inclusion is located, but also its depth, size, and relationship to the outer shape of the stone.
The system uses UV illumination, including 365 nm and optional 405 nm imaging, to document the gemstone’s fluorescence response. This adds another valuable layer of visual information, revealing reaction patterns and optical characteristics that may not be visible under normal white light.
ClearEX GEM can create a unique digital identity for each gemstone by combining its external and internal characteristics. Shape, inclusion patterns, color features, and imaging data can be stored as a digital fingerprint for future identification, comparison, tracking, and documentation.
The system analyzes the gemstone images to evaluate color distribution and zoning. AI-assisted tools can identify dominant color areas, saturation differences, uneven color regions, and zoning patterns, helping the user better understand how the color may appear after polishing.
Using imaging data, color information, internal structure, and additional scan results, the AI-assisted system can help indicate the gemstone type and compare it with categories such as Ruby, Sapphire, Spinel, Tourmaline, and others. The result is intended to support the overall analysis process.
The system evaluates internal patterns, inclusion characteristics, visual structure, and other captured responses to provide an AI-assisted indication of whether the gemstone shows features more consistent with a natural or synthetic stone. The advantage is that the indication is based on visible evidence collected from the gemstone itself.
This is where ClearEX GEM combines the gemstone’s external geometry with the internal 3D inclusion map. The software can generate possible polished-stone models and search for the best result according to the user’s priorities, such as maximizing weight, improving clarity, avoiding or positioning inclusions, and increasing light return. This allows the polishing result to be planned before the actual cutting process begins.
