Folks, these are actual, unsolicited comments about Gemology Tools Professional. There have been many more but because I’m so busy (just like you) I'm kind of lax about getting permission from people to list them. If you want an email address or two let me know. We can't list them here because the spammers go nuts whenever their spambots find an email address on any website. Tip: Don't ever put your email address on any website and you'll get less spam.

Greetings,

As soon as I clear the drool off my mouth perhaps I can properly ask a question. First of all, I just began playing with this software and am completely blown away. I'm a distant education student at GIA preparing for my Gem ID course and found this software while searching the web for equipment. I cannot imagine how long it took to compile such thorough data at such an unbelievably LOW, LOW price, but I'm grateful you put it out there for everyone. 

Now my question is: I downloaded this on my laptop and would like to also download it on my big computer. Is this possible, or is it one download per purchase? Can you please let me know? Thank you so much!

Dear Bill,
 
I can't even begin to tell you how pleased I am with your software!  Your database is unbelieveable! Today I took the "easy test"  just to see how I would do. I really surprised myself. This database is so easy to use and provides so much information, you should have called it "GEMOLOGY FOR DUMMIES!" I love all of the full-color photos and the endless information you include.
 
Again, thank you so much for your assistance and this wonderful database!  (Best money I ever spent!)
 
Sincerely,

Note: I hesitated to put this one in because it is hard for me to believe (and if it is hard for me to believe, will you?).  But, these are Sheridon’s own words, so...

Bill,

GT Pro is quite honestly the single most impressive program I have ever personally used. It is also the most enjoyable. I passed the theoretical portion of my IGS exam and am now using the program to practice for the practical portion. I also fully expect to use it for the practical portion (as well as any future endeavors I take part in).

Thank you,

Bill,

If I paid twice of what you are asking for the program I still would have been very happy. The time saving tools alone are worth it. This program is a great asset to the gemstone community, A+++ program !!

Dear Bill,

It arrived this afternoon and I just installed it. It is about 20x better than I hoped! The inclusion photos alone are worth the price of the program. I thought it was going to be an online program, but this is far better because it makes my future lab portable. I don't need to worry about what kind of Internet service a client may have. It's also nice to have a photo file of some of the great stones, like the Hope Diamond.

This is an Awesome Program!  It consolidates much needed data I constantly have to search for in various research manuals. I like also the conversion charts very much! Nice Program! I commend you all! Thank you for all your Support!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Phenomenal!!!! This is a fantastic upgrade and I thank you so much!!!!!!! I especially had fun with the Gemology Test!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just love your program!  It is one of the best investments I have made in a long time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bill,

Finished downloading the ZIP file and opened the program. WOW! The depth and data is unbelievable and the photos are a great plus. I am very impressed with your design. Thank you very much for this great database!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I downloaded and installed the program and all I can say is WOW. After using it for a week I am even more impressed. I have owned several gemology programs over the past few years and Gemology Tools is the easiest to use by far. I found the Gemstone Separator very fast, easy, and accurate.  The weight estimators were very accurate for the test stones I used. This program will get a lot of work in my shop.

Thanks Bill, for a fine program.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Works great! I've only spent a few minutes in the program and I can already tell that I'll spend many hours. This is just the kind of tool I was looking for!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My faceting instructor and I love your Gemology Tools software.  It's great having one centralized and easy to use source for all of this information. We used to have to look though numerous reference books instead.

Just wanted to say that I've had your software for a week and really like it!! The photos are great for showing clients and it adds to my "gemology toolbox.” Great job and thanks!

We have used Gemology Tools for over five years and it continues to be an    invaluable appraisal resource for Timeless, Inc. It not only makes our  work faster but also accurate.  We don't have to open reference books for millimeter to carat weight conversions.  The Gemstone Database assists us in the initial determination of stone species. The upgrades are not just bells and whistles but a meaningful increase in information and ease of retrieval.

It is so few and far between that I find myself actually amazed with the quality of a program that relates to gemstones. I have to definitely say that your program is one that is DEFINITELY worth the price! The pictures and details that you have given are extremely comprehensive and well written. Thank you for making such a wonderful program!

Gemology Tools is a great program. I'm finding it extremely useful. Even think the pictures are great! I am very impressed with your programming sense. GT is quite intuitive and easy to navigate through right from the opening screen.  Information on each species is comprehensive, detailed and easy enough for even a novice to understand. Great job! Very impressed! And it didn't take 9 days to get here!!! Thanks so much.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I purchased the original version of GT, I was a GIA student.  Now, I am a GG and working for a major jeweler. I thought the 5.1 version was helpful. The new 6.2 is meaningful. It connects to my use of the Guide appraisal system and puts great new calculating power at my fingertips. Well done and Thank You!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gemology Tools leads my arsenal of indispensable gemological equipment. I am particularly pleased with the new gemstone separator, pearl grading guide and diamond weight charts. The Round Diamond Cut Analyzer makes quick work of any diamond re-cutting estimate. There is no easier way to implement the NAJA Cut Grading system, the only system yet available to consistently grade fancies as well as round diamonds! Keep up the good work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 The program is one of the best I have run into. I love it and you can quote me.   Thanks for your help.

I have used Gemology Tools every business day since 1995 and continue to rediscover useful applications as appraisal and client needs arise. The program was thoughtfully produced for all levels of gemological expertise and is extremely user friendly. The diamond and colored stone weight estimation system alone is worth the investment.

Your Gemology Tools has made my life and work so much easier -- and it's a great way to double-check my manual calculations when/if I choose to do the work "the hard way". I certainly appreciate your fine work - and the great tool you've developed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WOW !!!!!! I love the picture section, what a great tool to help and refresh my memory. Great Job.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bill - have just installed the new program and WOW! Great pictures, great gemstone data and very usable, in my opinion. And of course, all the old favourites there too.
