Dichroscope, folding

Summary

Folds into a case (like a loupe), 20mm dia.

If a stone is dichroic (transmits two colours at once) you will see the two distinct colours when viewed through a dichroscope.

You can often see the two colours by viewing the stone from different directions, but this can be difficult (often impossible with stones is set in jewellery), it's easier to use a dichroscope. 

Is it easy to use?

Yes.
