Great Chelsea filter for gemology! Highly recommend if you need something affordable and effective. Very sturdy leather case too!

Came on time and packaged very nicely.

This is the first Chelsea filter I've owned so I don't have anything to really compare it to. Overall, I really like this and have been using it to test some gems in my collection. The only thing that is frustrating for me personally is that if you try to look through it in the same way you would a loupe it is very blurry. I have to hold it at a distance (about 4 to 6 inches away from my eye) to see the gem clearly, but then I wonder if I am seeing the color of the gem through the lens properly since it is relatively far away. But like I said, this is the first one I've owned so I'm not sure if they are all blurry up close. Still happy I got it and am having fun using it!

Great filter. Has already saved me money with people selling fake emeralds and ruby's.

A very high quality product. Made of steel. Arrived quickly and intact. A must have product.

If you know how to use it. I is a great tool to have in your tool box. Caution! If you do not know how to use it, do not buy it. It will get you into more trouble than it is worth.

Easy to brings and need more using cost

Si sabes utilizarlos, es funcional

This product is exactly what is described. Used to see if the specimen/gem is coloured with chromium. Can be used to identify genuine natural vs synthetic (or simulant) gems, such as emeralds and rubies. Happy with this purchase.
