Its compact and sturdy design, along with the thinnest retractable probe tip in the industry, ensures reliable results and ease of use for professionals and enthusiasts alike. ## Description The Presidium Gem r II is based on the invention of Professor Julian Goldsmid from the University of New South Wales in Australia. It was developed to distinguish between diamonds and its other simulants using the principles of thermal conductivity. In its second generation, the Presidium Gem r II provides a quick and easy way to identify diamonds/moissanites and separates up to 16 common colored gemstones based on their thermal conductivity with its clear and direct analog display. It is to be noted that natural and synthetic gemstones have similar physical and optical properties. As such, Presidium Gem r II does not distinguish between natural and synthetic gemstones. The Presidium Gem r II features the following: Retractable thermoelectric probe tip that ensures constant pressure between probe tip and gemstone Industry's thinnest probe tip (0.6mm) for testing diamonds as small as 0.02ct Metal alert buzzer to ensure that probe tip is in contact with gemstone during testing Clear and easy-to-read analog dial No waiting time between tests Built-in Calibration (CAL) and Glass test discs for reference Powered by 2 x AA batteries or adaptor Included in your package: Presidium Gem r II Retractable probe pen Built-in Calibration (CAL) and Glass test discs AC adaptor User handbook Warranty card Protective carrying case ## Features - NOTE: The calibration may be affected during shipping.

Is that the same as not distinguishing between genuine or imitation?** A: Yes, and no. Imitation can be like, if they colored a Sapphire to be a Ruby. So, if you buy a Ruby, and it tests Sapphire, it might be Sapphire. You will also want to buy the Presidium Refractometer for a better accuracy (I own both). However, even with both tools, it takes a keen eye, and training to truly know what you're looking at. However, both tools have successfully identified Diamond and Moissanite for me. (Back to the issue at hand). Natural is mined, where as synthetic is lab grown. This generally means that the hardness index will be very similar to the real thing. If you find imitation, it can be anything from a different stone that's been colored, all the way to colored/dyed glass. **Q: Can i buy extra tips for my presidium i already bought** A: You can buy new probes for it. **Q: What is the newest version? And what batteries/adapter** A: yes both batteries and adapter, this is the newest version ## Frequently Bought Together - Presidium Instruments Gem Tester II (PGT II) Now with Assisted Thermal Calibration (ATC) for Identifying Diamonds/Moissanites and Common Colored Gemstones - ET-18 Mizar Gold Tester Battery Operated Electronic Gold Karat Purity Value 10K 14K 18K Tester --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/386129521-presidium-instruments-gem-r-ii-pgt-ii-now-with-assisted](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/386129521-presidium-instruments-gem-r-ii-pgt-ii-now-with-assisted) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
