For mounted jewelry or gemstones: Hold the jewelry or gemstone with one hand and the tester with the other hand (Fig.
  • Page 12 Tips for using your SAM The electrical conductivity of the new low electrical conductivity moissanite may differ across various points and vary from stone to stone. It is therefore advisable to perform more tests on different points across the surface of the suspected gemstones.
  • Page 13 Cleaning the probe tip Please note that if the tester is being used for the first time, or if the tester has not been used for a week, it is advisable to clean the probe tip using a piece of paper to attain a consistent and accurate reading.

  • Page 14: Reading Test Results On Your Sam

    • Gemstone with low thermal conductivity such as glass or cubic zirconia will not give any reading on the tester. Note: For stones with lower thermal inertia, the Presidium Gem Tester / Color Stone Estimator (PGT/ CSE), the Presidium Duo Tester (PDT) or the Presidium Gem Indicator (PGI) can be used to further differentiate the type of simulants as they detect a wider simulant range.
