You can cast it, grind it, file it, drill it, twist it, bend it, and emboss it. It is as hard and durable as steel, but half its weight - in short: titanium is the perfect material for modern jewelry manufacturing.

Acetone is sometimes used to clean specimens prior to taking an FTIR spectrum, the idea being that this will remove surface contaminants. But one must take great care that the acetone itself is not contaminated, as the following two spectra show.

The Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR) is used to help determine whether a sapphire has been thermally enhanced. The heights of the various peaks give the gemologist an indication of whether the sapphire being tested has been thermally enhanced. For example, when a strong peak at 3160 wavenumbers is found, this is an excellent indication that the sapphire being tested has not been thermally enhanced.

Lucerne, Switzerland - Now that there are more gem-quality alexandrites and chrysoberyls on the market, researchers at the Gubelin Gem Lab have initiated a research project to analyze the stones and their origin, drawing samples from all commercially significant production areas worldwide, the Switzerland-based lab announced.
