The PREMIER brand for Gemological Instruments. This is a GIA Gemolite Deluxe "A" Mark VII with Overhead Light Source! This unit has been well maintained and is in PRISTINE condition with the exception of a small INSIGNIFICANT chip off the corner of the light diffuser as indicated in the last picture. To the best of our knowledge this unit is only missing the plastic microscope dust cover and a gem-clip stone holder. We are in the process of trying to acquire the later and will include one to the purchaser if we are successful.

We have tested this unit and everything is in complete WORKING order. The head to the unit is a Reichert Stereo Zoom 569 going from 0.7X to 3.0X with 15X eye pieces (10x-45x). This scope retailed for about $3,500 when it was introduced and used scopes in this condition generally fetch $2,000-$2,200 or so.

This comes with a DOA guarantee and what you see is essentially what you get. This is a GREAT deal for anyone looking for a GIA scope at a SUPER DISCOUNT!

Here are GIA's Specs on the Scope:
