An infrared spectrometer generates a spectrum when an infrared light source irradiates a gemstone, causing vibrational energy levels within the crystal lattice (molecules), complex anion groups, and coordination groups to transition, absorbing the infrared light. The mechanism involves a beam of continuously changing wavelength infrared light irradiating the gemstone, where the molecules or functional groups within are struck by photons. When the vibration or rotational energy of the molecules inside the gemstone matches the energy of the incident infrared light, the molecules transition from a lower to a higher energy level, selectively absorbing the infrared light and producing an absorption spectrum. Different absorption bands correspond to distinct molecules or functional groups, allowing infrared spectroscopy to analyze both the chemical composition and internal structural characteristics of gemstones. This enables the rapid identification of water, hydroxide ions, anionic groups, cations, and other components and structures within gemstones.An infrared spectrometer generates a spectrum when an infrared light source irradiates a gemstone, causing vibrational energy levels within the crystal lattice (molecules), complex anion groups, and coordination groups to transition, absorbing the infrared light.
