Gemstone Enhancement
Many types of gemstone can benefit from enhancement
of their colour through treatment using exposure to ionising
irradiation. Isotron offers a high quality, fast turnaround
electron treatment service for gemstone enhancement built on
technical expertise and nearly 20 years of experience.
Our HELIOS-1 facility at Harwell is optimally configured for
efficient gemstone enhancement treatment allowing high dose and
high energy electron processing of rough, pre-form or cut stones in
approximately 1kg lots. The secure site at Harwell and our
experience of handling valuable gemstones provide peace of mind
about the commercial and physical security of customers’ goods.
