Our Accredited Gem Lab was the first in Montana. Accredited Gem Labs are rare because of the stringent requirements to qualify. An AGS titleholder of at least Certified Gemologist level must be on staff. We have exceed this requirement by having 2 Certified Gemologist Appraisers (CGA) titleholders on staff. The CGA is the highest credential in the industry. Also required is state of the art gemological equipment. There are fewer than 300 Accredited Gem Labs in North America.
