Mission
The main mission of the center is developing professional gemological activity in Iran. Going this way, the center opened its door for all worldwide scientists, professional gemologist and dealers to communicate and share their experience. In the same time the center tries to set international labs and standards as base for developing gemological activities.
Developing Standards
In order to improve gemological activities, one of the key principles is standard development and it is one of the main missions of GC which is mainly based on CIBJO (The World Jewellery Confederation) professional documents. In 2016 GC “The Gemological Laboratory Book, A Guide for the Management and Technical Operations (2012-1)” offered as first Iranian standard to Iranian National Standards Organization that proved one year later. 3 other standards on Diamond, pearl and color stones are in progress of final editing
Research activities
GC offered MSc in Geogemology as of the new branches for school and its need final approval by Ministry of Science Research and Technology of Iran. However, Petrology and economic geology students are covering the subjects, So far 5 students graduated with gemology subjects and 3 MSc and 3 PhD students are doing their degree with gemology subjects.
Gemology lab and technical facilities
Gemology lab with advance equipments like Raman Spectroscopy and Optical equipments is now running. Access to University Central Lab with facilities like SEM, FTR and XRD is also possible easily by researchers.
