The windows-based software, called CrystalSleuth, may become an useful tool for analyzing and interpreting Raman spectra and powder X-ray diffraction data. The software may be able to compare multiple spectra and identify an unknown sample utilizing the online RRUFF project database.
With the continued technological advances portable Raman spectrophotometer may become even smaller and affordable in the future for gemological studies or other applications. This, combined with the free CrystalSlueth software may become a user-friendly tool for practising gemologist and gem dealers.
Raman spectral library is freely downloadable from the RRUFF Project web site @
