Refractive Index Liquid =1.80

The RI was packed well; no spillage. It helped me identify a Tourmaline and a Topaz.

I was very surprised to be able to buy R.I. (refractive index) liquid at this low price. A bottle that size normally goes for $60! It's the real thing, too. I bought two of them, one for a jeweler friend and one for myself (I'm a gemologist). Great stuff.

Good news is that the item works. Bad news is that it's not in the packaging in the product picture, the actual item looks like products sold by many other companies on Amazon, and the lid came unglued from itself the first time I opened it.

I had a refractometer but the cost of a bottle of R.I. fluids from some retailers was really high. I took a chance on this seller and the oil seems to work. The real problem was figuring out how to work the refractometer and getting the appropriate results!

This is not what is in the listing's picture. What I got was a single bottle for the price of what other listings sell for 2 bottles. This is a scam.

No label and no instructions BUT the price is right and it works well for me.

Works

I ordered this refractive oil because it had a good review and it was 1/third the price that others were asking. It arrived 10 days later, 8,000 miles away, wrapped in plastic bubble wrap and sealed with wax. I will definately order from them again when this bottle is spent.
