Israel-based Sarine Technologies has launched its new Meteorite™ system for inclusion mapping of very small rough stones, under 0.35 carats.
The Meteorite™ system is based on the Meteor™ system, and Sarine describes it as “the most cost-effective inclusion mapping solution currently available in the industry for the segment of very small rough diamonds below 35 points in size”. In a press release, Sarine estimates that some fifty million rough stones are the likely market for the Meteorite™. The device can “scan up to 10 stones per hour, aiming to scan nearly 240 stones per day, assuming three daily shifts”.
David Block, CEO of Sarine, said: “[…] The proven Galaxy™ technology will now be offered in a system specifically targeted at very small goods and aggressively priced. We intend to continue to add value to our inclusion mapping product line with the launch of additional upgrades and innovations, some of which we plan to introduce later this year”.
