This is a dark colored vial containing about 10 grams of Refractive Index Fluid for use with any gem refractometer.

 

Comparable to more expensive chemicals, this one is economical.

 

It works great with any stone up to about 1.80+.

 

Contained in an amber glass vial,   with an applicator in the lid to allow application of a tiny amount. 

 

Does not contain Arsenic.

 

Because the bottle is fragile, we sealed the rim with WAX in order to protect the liquid inside, This may sometimes appear to be crusted shut. It's not

    5.0 out of 5 stars Decent refractometer!

    Posted by Karen GH on 31st Jul 2025

    After getting some duds in this price range, I was pleased to get this refractometer. It gives a good clear reading and feels like a quality instrument. This style is easier for me to use on faceted gems than the more $ GIA model. You need to order the RI fluid separately (expect to spend around $80 for the good stuff). My only complaint is that you better have extra batteries on hand in case you accidently leave the internal light on (there is a side push button), as there is no way to use an external light source. And the directions for the batteries and battery compartment don't match this instrument, but you can easily figure it out. Other than that, this is great quality and value.

    r.i. fluid

    Posted by Kenneth W. Wilson on 12th Jul 2019

    Appears to be 1.80 r.i. My bottle arrived 1/2 full. This is not 10 GM of fluid. The shipping waa quick. I am very disappointed on the quantity.

    Disappointed

    The bottle was received and had leaked. It has a very bad smell that is difficult to remove. I asked for a refund yesterday, and have not heard back.
