The pearl X-ray machine is used to analyse the structure of the pearl.  The X-rays are non-destructive and do not harm the item.  AnchorCert Gem Lab develops the X-rays in a safe and secure chamber and through expert analysis is able to determine if a pearl is natural or cultured.  These tests take time and reporting can take up to several weeks to complete.  AnchorCert Gem Lab can also distinguish if a cultured pearl is freshwater or saltwater.
