Security & privacy

What verification does — and doesn't — prove

A successful lookup confirms that your order number and surname match the same authorized record, and grants access to the report linked to that record. It does not by itself constitute cryptographic authentication of the document, and it proves only what the underlying records support.

Submissions are validated server-side, rate-limited, sent over HTTPS, and failure messages never reveal which detail did not match. Full details in our Privacy Policy and About the Verification Process.

Common questions

Quick answers

Your order number and the surname recorded on the order. Both are required and must belong to the same record.

Occasionally a matched record's document is still being uploaded or was issued on paper only. You'll see a distinct “Report unavailable” state with a direct route to support — we never substitute a placeholder document.

No. A laboratory report documents gemological observations about the stone. It makes no claim about astrological, spiritual, medical or financial outcomes, and none should be inferred.

How Are Gemstones Tested?

General gemstone science, explained in accessible language. This page is educational — it does not describe the findings of any specific report.

Important: The exact tests performed depend on the specimen, the equipment available, the laboratory, and the purpose of the examination. Not every gemstone undergoes every test listed here. Nothing on this page should be read as a claim about what any particular laboratory performed.

Preliminary identification vs. complete analysis

A preliminary identification may rely on a few quick observations — appearance under magnification, optical behaviour, heft — and can be enough for many purposes. A complete laboratory analysis adds measured properties, instrumental examination (for example spectroscopy), careful treatment assessment, documentation and review. Reports should make clear which kind of examination they represent.

Visual inspection

The examination usually begins with the unaided eye and standard lighting: colour and its distribution, transparency, lustre, cut quality, surface condition, and any visible features such as fractures or growth patterns. This step guides which further tests are appropriate.

Magnification & internal characteristics

Under a loupe or gem microscope, examiners look at inclusions and internal features — crystals, needles, growth zoning, healing fissures, flux or hydrothermal remnants, gas bubbles. Some inclusion types are characteristic of natural formation; others may indicate synthetic growth or treatment. Magnification also reveals evidence of fracture filling, diffusion, or coating.

Optical properties

How a stone interacts with polarized light helps distinguish singly-refractive from doubly-refractive materials, and can reveal pleochroism (different colours in different directions) and anomalous optical behaviour. A polariscope and dichroscope are classic tools for these observations.

Refractive index

The refractive index (RI) measures how much light bends entering the stone. It is one of the most diagnostic properties in gemmology: many gem species occupy characteristic RI ranges, read with a refractometer. Doubly-refractive stones show a range (a birefringence reading) rather than a single value.

Specific gravity

Specific gravity (SG) compares the stone's density to that of water, typically measured by hydrostatic weighing. SG helps separate species that look similar but differ in density. Mounted stones usually cannot be weighed accurately, which limits this test for finished jewellery.

Spectroscopic examination

Spectroscopes reveal which wavelengths of light a stone absorbs — patterns related to its chemistry and colouring agents. Advanced instruments such as FTIR, Raman and UV-Vis spectroscopy can identify filler materials, detect certain treatments, and confirm mineral identity non-destructively.

Additional specialized examinations

Depending on the stone and question, a laboratory may also use UV fluorescence observation, X-ray-based techniques, chemical analysis, or diamond-specific testing. These are applied selectively — driven by what earlier observations suggest.

Treatments & enhancements

Many gemstones are legitimately treated (heating, oiling, etc.). Detection depends on the treatment type, its quality, and the instrumentation available. Where a report is silent, the honest reading is “not stated” — absence of a treatment comment is not a guarantee of absence of treatment, and reputable reports say so in their limitations.

Separating knowledge systems. Everything above is gemstone science. Traditional and cultural associations of gemstones — including astrological beliefs — are a separate domain of knowledge. They are not scientific claims, are not supported by laboratory testing, and MantraMani® keeps them clearly separated from documented findings.

Gemstone Testing Procedure

A general educational workflow showing how gemstone examination is typically organized. It is not a statement of any specific laboratory's internal procedure.

  1. Specimen receipt & identification

    The item is logged, uniquely identified, and its condition documented so every later observation can be tied to the same physical specimen.

  2. Initial visual examination

    Colour, transparency, lustre, cut and surface condition are assessed under standard lighting to plan which tests are appropriate.

  3. Appropriate gemmological tests

    Selected examinations are performed — for example magnification, optical behaviour, refractive index, specific gravity or spectroscopy — depending on the specimen and the question being answered.

  4. Interpretation of observations

    Results are interpreted together: no single test usually decides an identification. Consistency across observations builds confidence; contradictions prompt further testing.

  5. Recording of findings

    Observations and measurements are documented exactly as made, including values that could not be obtained and properties that were not stated.

  6. Report preparation & review

    Findings are assembled into a report with specimen description, photographs where taken, remarks, limitations, date, and issuing details — then reviewed before release.

  7. Certificate or report issuance

    Where applicable, the finished document is issued and linked to the purchase record — which is what makes it retrievable through this verification site.

Scope note. This workflow is presented for education. Actual procedures vary by laboratory, equipment, specimen type, and purpose of examination.

Understanding Your Laboratory Report

A field-by-field guide to the kinds of information a gemstone report may contain. Your own report shows only the fields it actually documents — anything absent appears as “Not stated in report” or is omitted.

Report or certificate number

The unique identifier of the document. Keep it with your order details — support teams use it to locate records quickly.

Specimen description

What was physically examined: the item type, cut/shape, colour description, and measurements of the specimen as received.

Identification

The gemmological conclusion about what the material is — for example a mineral species and variety (“Natural Sapphire (Corundum)”). Identification reflects the examinations performed and the confidence they support.

Natural or synthetic determination

Where the laboratory addresses origin of formation, the report states whether the material is natural, synthetic (laboratory-grown with the same chemistry), or a simulant/imitation. Not every report makes this determination — when silent, it is “not stated,” not “natural by default.”

Treatments & enhancements

Comments on detected treatments (heating, oiling, filling, diffusion, coating, etc.). Detection has real limits: some treatments are undetectable with available methods. Read any treatment comment together with the report's limitations section.

Weight & measurements

Carat weight (unmounted stones) and dimensions. For mounted jewellery, weight is often estimated or omitted because the stone cannot be removed — the report should say how the value was obtained.

Optical & other measured properties

Values such as refractive index, birefringence, specific gravity, optical character, or fluorescence — each meaningful only in the context of the instrument and method used.

Photographs

Images of the actual examined specimen, allowing you to confirm the document refers to your stone's appearance as received.

Limitations & remarks

The most important section for honest reading: what the examination could not determine, method constraints, and any conditions on the conclusions. A report without stated limitations should be read with extra care.

Report date & issuing laboratory

When the document was issued and by whom. Contact and identity details of the issuing laboratory belong on the report itself — this site displays them only as documented.

Rule of thumb: this website never generates new findings and never infers values from product titles. What you see in a verification result is what the source record documents — nothing more.

About Certificate Verification

What a lookup does, what a match confirms, and what it cannot establish — stated plainly.

What a certificate lookup does

You submit an order number and a surname. The server validates the request, applies rate limits, queries the authorized order/certificate data source, and checks that both details belong to the same authorized record. On success it resolves the linked certificate or report and returns only the information permitted for that customer.

Why you should retain your order details

The order number and recorded surname are the keys to your record. Keep your confirmation email or invoice — without them, recovery requires a manual support process.

How a matching record is identified

A match requires exact correspondence against the same stored record: the order number must exist, and the surname must match the surname stored with that order (after careful normalization of whitespace and Unicode form). Unrelated name variants are not silently treated as equivalent, and failure responses never reveal which detail did not match.

What a successful match confirms

  • That the submitted details correspond to an existing authorized order record.
  • That you are granted access to the certificate/report linked to that record, where one exists.
  • The documented status of that report (issued, pending, unavailable).

What verification cannot establish

A match proves only what the underlying records and this implemented procedure support. It does not automatically prove that a physical product is genuine, that a stone matches its report, or that a document has been cryptographically authenticated. No cryptographic verification status is displayed unless cryptographic document verification is actually implemented — and even then, a stored hash confirms document integrity only, never the correctness of the report's scientific claims.

Report availability

If your record matches but its document is missing or still being processed, you will see a distinct “Report unavailable” state — never a fabricated placeholder document — with a direct route to support.

Reporting suspected discrepancies

If product details don't match your purchase, a report looks inconsistent, or you suspect misuse of a certificate number, use the Contact / Report a Discrepancy form. Include your order number and certificate number if known. Submissions are private and never published.

Abuse prevention

Lookups are rate-limited by a combination of IP, session, and endpoint (never IP alone, since customers share networks). Repeated guessing yields throttled responses with retry guidance. Access to report files re-checks authorization on every download and prevents certificate-ID enumeration and arbitrary file retrieval.

Privacy Policy

How this verification site handles the information you submit. Draft — pending owner review before launch

Lookup information

When you submit the verification form, the order number and surname are transmitted over HTTPS to a protected server endpoint and used only to authorize access to the matching record. They are not stored in your browser, not sold, not shared for marketing, and not published. Verification result views are session-scoped and excluded from search-engine indexing.

Certificate downloads

Report downloads re-check authorization on each request. Download events may be logged for security and abuse monitoring; such logs avoid collecting unnecessary personal data and are retained only as long as needed for that purpose.

Contact & support submissions

Messages, attachments and the details you include are used solely to handle your request. Attachments are stored in a private location, are never publicly accessible, and are deleted once the request is resolved and any retention period expires.

Logs & retention

Standard technical logs (timestamps, anonymized request metadata, rate-limit events) support security and abuse prevention. Retention periods are limited and documented internally; personal data is not kept longer than necessary for the purpose collected.

Surname handling

The surname is never exposed as a lookup token and failure messages never reveal whether an order exists or which field mismatched. Only the fields needed for your verification session are returned to your browser.

Cookies & sessions

Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite session settings are used where sessions are required. No third-party advertising or tracking cookies are set by the verification flow.
