About the Gemologist: Passionate About Gems, Committed to Truth


๐Ÿง‘‍๐Ÿ”ฌ Introduction

Welcome to Aggemologist – a dedicated space where gemstones meet science. My name is Hamid Usman, a passionate gemologist with deep expertise in gem identification, spectroscopy, and authentication techniques. With over a decade of practical experience and a strong background in lab testing, I created this blog to share authentic, practical, and research-backed insights for gem lovers, students, and professionals.


๐Ÿ’Ž Why I Started This Blog

As someone who has worked with both natural and synthetic gems, I noticed a huge gap between real-world gem testing and the knowledge available online. Too many people fall victim to fake gems, overpriced stones, and misleading information.

This blog was born out of a simple mission:

"To provide clear, credible, and hands-on gemological knowledge accessible to everyone."


๐Ÿ”ฌ What You’ll Find Here

On this blog, I regularly post:

  • Case studies of real gemstone testing

  • Gemology multiple choice questions (MCQs) for learning and exams

  • Educational guides on tools like UV-VIS-NIR spectrometers

  • Market insights and identification tips

  • Step-by-step tutorials for spotting fakes and understanding lab reports


๐ŸŒ Who This Blog Is For

Whether you're a:

  • Gemology student preparing for exams

  • Collector who wants to avoid scams

  • Jewelry trader needing technical insight

  • Beginner just starting to love gemstones

You’ll find something valuable here.


๐Ÿงช Equipment I Use

My lab features high-end instruments, including:

  • UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer 

  • Refractometers, microscopes, and UV tools

  • Standard and advanced gem testing equipment

All tests and case studies on this blog are based on actual lab work, not just theory.
