What sizes of gemstones or diamonds can I capture?
The GemLightbox Macro can photograph diamonds and gemstones between 0.1mm and 30mm, which generally corresponds to 0.1ct to 50ct in weight.
Can I photograph stones smaller than 0.01ct or larger than 50ct?
GemLightbox Macro is optimized for stones between 0.1ct and 50ct. For stones larger than 50ct, we recommend using the GemLightbox Pro, which is built to accommodate bigger items.
Can I take videos of minerals?
Yes, as long as the mineral is smaller than 50ct, it can be photographed using the GemLightbox Macro. For larger-sized minerals, the GemLightbox Pro is the better choice.
Can I change the color of the stone in the image?
No. The GemLightbox Macro is designed to provide a true and accurate color representation of the diamond or gemstone. Color adjustments are not supported through the device itself.
How can I capture the fluorescence of a diamond?
The GemLightbox Macro does not show fluorescence. Fluorescence can typically be seen under UV light or referred to in the GIA certificate.
Can I enhance the clarity of the stone using the device?
No. The GemLightbox Macro is built to display the natural clarity of the stone. It does not digitally enhance or alter the clarity in photos or videos.
Can I photograph my stone in a standing position?
The GemLightbox Macro is designed to display stones at an angled position, which has been shown through market research to be the most visually appealing and preferred by diamond buyers. A standing position is not supported.
Can I see the laser inscription on a diamond?
No. Laser inscriptions require 20x magnification to be visible. The GemLightbox Macro records at 10x zoom, which is optimal for showcasing the overall beauty of diamonds but insufficient for capturing laser inscriptions.
