Can this be used for gemstones?

no! you cant hold it in one hand and focus with the same hand while holding the gem stone in the other hand.

I'm not qualified to answer that question because I don't know what you're looking for. I use it to identify tiny bugs on plants. But I do know most jeweler loupes are 20 to 40x magnification. You may not need such a strong magnification.

Possibly with a very steady hand or if the gem is on a flat surface. I discarded the one I bought and bought a very high powered Jeweler's loupe. Good luck.

I mix it to polish Gem Stones as a paste directly on the stone. Normally takes to or three times for a fabulous shine. I have also used it to polish crystal faces on watches using the same principle (do not use on plastic).

I use it with diamonds and my large sapphire all the time and it cleans beautifully. I put a touch of dawn dish detergent In the water and that works even better. I have used it with my very cloudy aquamarine and it now sparkles. However, there are mixed reviews on whether you can use it with certain gemstones so google your stone just to be safe. It also cleans silver and gold beautifully.

i think you probably could, but the bottle doesn't unscrew it is punctured. also the solution is very strong and you would probably have to wear gloves and maybe event glasses. the product is fantastic and i wish is would be ok for natural stone.

We did not use this product on jewelry. We used it in sterling silver platters, pitchers, candle stick holders, and flatware, so I can't say how it would work on jewelry. It worked great on the sterling.

I am sure it can as long as you have a guide. It all comes down to angles of the blade. This works perfect for knives and wood chisels but I know amazon does sell wider stones for bigger items.

Yes, it is safe for your ring. It is meant to use with water and detergent. If you do use it with any other cleaning solution just make sure it is safe for semi-precious stones when cleaning your sapphires.

I use it to polish sapphire's and ruby's for me at takes a while as I start it with the stones very rough and have to change the sand several times to get them to the stage of polishing them. electricity is not much but it is noisy so you may want to put it in a room by it self. try it for about an hour than check them as make sure you get the right sand polish for them too coarse can scratch them. I bought mine about 6 months ago and it is still working fine today.

noooooo, the pressure is too great. sonic cleaner is best for most gemstones. or u can use ammonia water on them with a soft bristle brush. do not use ammonia on coral, jade those types of gemstones it will damage them.

Sure it can, my daughter uses it for her jewelry and makeup. You can use this for just about anything.

Gemstones are not labeled- shouldn't matter. I don't remember instructions. Know you can jump north to south, east to west only-- no diagonal at all-- it is a lot of fun. Object to get the least amount of stones left. Remember to take out the middle stone-- there will be two extra.

Lauren. It would work well on silver and gold. I am not sure on the other three metals but people polish rocks with them so I don't see why not.

Base on the Blitz product it can be use on gold, platinum, diamond, ruby, topaz, sapphire, amethyst, aquamarine, garnet peridot and other non-porous gem jewelry. I have only use Blitz my gold jewelry as of now and it worked wonderful. Hope this help.

Hi, No, not really; for gemstones my suggestion's a Presidium Duo-Tester. It's pricey.

I think so. It says it is for semi precious stones. Not for coral, ivory,, amber, malachite, pearls, opals, jade or turquoise Those are all softer stones. I think aquamarine is a semi precious stone. Good luck.

I don't see why not. I used it on my slate table top. It made the slate richer/darker looking and the water beads off of it.

Sure, I can't see a reason why it wouldn't work for stones. You just have to use the correct medium for rocks.
