Answer: 
Yes this Loupe is 10x. And boy does it work beautifully. I am so glad I got mine. And you can put your finger through it to hold it in your hand, in place while you're looking through. Its so handy and won't slip out of your hands.

Answer: 
10x magnification is standard for viewing gemstones. And, this is 10x. Other more magnifying loupes are available to the industry, but identifying inclusions and other derbies in stones is only done under 10x magnification for certification and or lab reports..

Answer: 
Mine doesn't say either. However, when comparing it with one of my other 10X loupes, it appears to be 10X. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

Answer: 
Yes the loupe is a 10x power. And do not use paper towels to clean it you might scratch it. I use 100% cotton t-shirt or the best is my little leather chamee i got from JTV also good for cleaning gemstones.

They are gem boxes to put your gemstone in, but be careful they're not all that great quality.

Answer: 
Hi there- JTV simply provided you with two clear boxes with white padding to display two of your favorite gems- that's all! :-)
JTV sells many different kinds of display boxes and kits, so you can fully enjoy your new gemstones. Collecting the gems is only part of the fun- once you get them, you'll want to protect and examine them, too. I hope you both enjoy your new hobby as much as I have!!

Answer: 
I would definitely purchase a book about the different gems that JTV carries. There are such a wide variety, and colors that may appear to look the same. You need to be able to distinguish between them. There is so much information to learn, where the gems come from, how they are mined, and so on.
Also more gem jars. They cushion your gem, protect them, and display them beautifully. You can study them one at a time, you'll have a perfect view of what's in there. And you can keep your jars in a container that keep them all in one place. If you order enough of them. A case to keep them all on display.
Those are two really important items I would invest in that could really give you a greater advantage to a beautiful collection.

Answer: 
I purchased this kit years ago and really enjoyed having these items in a portable case. I have upgraded my tools and stil use the case. More to your point there are many more tools that you can purchase as your interest grows and you may be able to fit them in there but they are not specific to this set up. When traveling to a show I remove things I don't need at that time and replace with the tools I want handy and the elastic bands secure them nicely.
