RAPAPORT… The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) will offer a
series of seminars this year on advanced detection of lab-grown stones.
The courses, which will be taught by GIA research scientists
and classroom instructors, will combine lectures with practical lab
instruction. The GIA will address methods of identifying chemical vapor
deposition (CVD) and High Pressure-High Temperature (HPHT) stones.
The first seminar will take place August 20 and 21 in Mumbai,
alongside the India International Fashion Jewellery & Accessories Show,

Gemological Symposium.
