The primary goal of the course is to present some introductory earth science and to provide students with a solid understanding of gemology. It includes coverage of the processes leading to the formation of gems in the Earth, how gems are identified, factors that affect the appearance and value of gems, processes used to enhance their appearance, materials used to simulate common gemstones, and issues associated with the synthesis of gems.
