GIA (Gemological Institute of America) has released a software update for its iD100 gem-testing device. The upgrade means the instrument can distinguish natural pink diamonds from laboratory-grown (HPHT and CVD) diamonds and diamond simulants.
GIA also released a free update to the existing GIA iD100 software with the expanded capability to screen blue-to-green and brown diamonds. This update must be installed before the pink diamond software upgrade can be added.
The new software can be purchased from the GIA Store for $249 for current owners. It is pre-installed on new devices.
