Colour: D-J (failsafe across all colours although natural fancy colours will give a higher referral rate)
Shape: All
Diamond Simulants: Yes (not ASSURE Tested)
Mounted Stones: Yes (not yet ASSURE Tested)

Instrument Performance

The below results demonstrate the performance of the DiamondSure with the ASSURE Core Sample:

Diamond False Positive Rate (optimal rate 0%): 0%
Diamond Referral Rate (optimal rate 0%): 4.7%
Diamond Accuracy Rate (optimal rate 100%): 95.3%
Speed (stones tested per hour): 193

The ASSURE Core Sample consists of 1,000 loose diamonds, 200 loose synthetic diamonds and 200 loose diamond simulants. The stones are 0.02ct to 0.20ct in D-J colour.
