2. PERFORMING A TEST with your Presidium Gem
Tester
Place the tip of the probe pen against the gemstone.
Apply minimal pressure to fully depress the tip into the
probe pen for correct reading. This is to provide a steady
and constant contact made between the probe tip and the
gemstone.
For mounted jewelry or gemstones:
Hold the jewelry or gemstone with one hand and the
tester with the other hand (Fig. 2.1). Care should be
taken when testing mounted jewelry. User must ensure
that the stones are securely mounted before conducting
