Gemstones are typically identified by visual examinations and, on occasion, destructive processes. Here, a novel approach to identifying semiprecious gemstones is presented. Based on distinct natural harmonic frequencies, unique vibrational signatures are extracted from various gemstones, revealing a new and non-destructive method for identification. This innovative method of identifying specific vibrational signatures may have additional or broader applications in other scientific fields as well.
