## Questions & Answers

**Q: I purchased one, used 18650 batteries as suggested, and the battery is too big. review mentioned CR123 battery doesn't work. Which battery would work?**
A: GEM8 is designed to use 18650 batteries and CR123A batteries. A standard 18650 can comfortably fit in.

**Q: No battery?**
A: battery is not included in the factory package

**Q: Is this good for testing Jade rubies aquas ect?**
A: Well it helps looking for inclusions etc, but it’s not going to tell you if a gem is treated.

If you mean a gem tester - this will not identify stones.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well designed gem flashlight

### ⭐ Light has potentially dangerous malfunction causing physical harm.
*by L***N on April 8, 2025*

I was so excited to receive this gem light. When it arrived without batteries, I had to go to a few different stores to find the lithium batteries. This light doesn't take the usual AA, A... When I finally found a package of the 123 size (@Walmart), I couldn't get them to go into the light cavity the usual way. I had to Google if there were different-sized lithiums of the same size number. As I was about to contact Amazon for a refund, I inadvertently found a comment about this exact gem light in an online gemology forum. The responder described how you must place the batteries in from the top under the light rather than the typical style where you unscrew the bottom, and slide the batteries in from the bottom. Okay, unusual-sized battery problem solved, but then I started to use the light checking out the rocks I had been waiting to grade, and I couldn't keep the light on for more than 5 minutes or the shaft would get dangerously hot to the touch. So, now I am contacting Amazon about a return, and without the original packaging. I am so disappointed that I allowed this purchase to take up so much of my time and energy, only to discover that it isn't nearly the quality I had expected.
