READ BEFORE USING  

A high percentage of the 
new generation, super-low 
electrically conductive Forever 
One or “F1” moissanite that 
was introduced in late 2015 
will incorrectly be identified 
as diamond when tested on a 
traditional combination electrical 
and thermal conductivity tester. 
However, your UltraTester 3+ 
uses the new patented UV-
F1 TECHNOLOGY™, and it is 
exclusively calibrated to identify 
this faint electrical conductivity 
property. Please note that the 
new Forever One moissanite 
can no longer be easily visually 
identified, as it is now D-E-F 
“colorless”, with few inclusions.

Be aware that body oil is also 
electrically conductive. Due to 
the tester’s enhanced sensitivity 
for electrical conductivity, dirty 
diamonds may potentially test 
as moissanite. To avoid false/
positive readings on dirty 
diamonds, ALWAYS CLEAN 
THE STONE by simply wiping 
the body oil off on the provided 
STONE TESTING CLOTH prior to 
performing a test. Periodically, 
also clean any accumulated body 
oil off of the probe tip by gently 
rubbing it on a piece of uncoated 
paper - SEE MANUAL.

OPERATING PROCEDURE 
& OWNERS MANUAL

Congratulations on your purchase 
of the UltraTester 3+ from GemOro 
Superior Instruments, the most 
trusted name in gemological 
instrumentation for the jewelry 
industry.  You’ve made a great 
choice.  Built upon the foundation 
of the second generation and most 
popular tester to date, the UltraTester 
3+ offers even more.  Separate true 
diamonds from moissanite, white 
sapphire, CZ, and other known 
diamond simulants with confidence.  

IMPORTANT: PLEASE BE CERTAIN 
TO READ THE FOLLOWING 
COMPLETELY BEFORE USING.

THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY & 
ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY 
TESTING METHODS

The recognized method for 
separating diamond from all 
known diamond simulants (except 
moissanite and synthetic diamond) 
is the thermal conductivity test. The 
thermal conductivity test works 
consistently well since the thermal 
(or heat) conductivity property of 
a diamond is significantly greater
