Gem Master Refractive Index Fluid 1.81 is a professional optical contact liquid formulated for use with classical gemological refractometers. With a refractive index of nD 1.81, it supports accurate RI measurements and is particularly useful when testing gemstones with higher refractive indices, including many garnets. Its advanced formulation offers reduced crystallization compared with 1.79 RI fluids, including at lower temperatures, helping provide reliable long-term performance. The fluid is supplied in a practical bottle designed to help minimize spills during use. Ideal for professional gemologists, jewellers, gemstone dealers, laboratories and gemmology students.
