Confirms the report is for a natural or laboratory-grown stone, states the species and variety (e.g., "Natural Beryl, Emerald"), and lists the shape and cutting style.

Lists precise millimeter dimensions and carat weight, measured directly by the lab rather than estimated.

Coloured stone reports describe colour in plain terms (hue, tone, saturation) rather than the numeric grading scale used for diamonds, since coloured gemstone grading is inherently more descriptive.

States any observed treatment — heat, oiling, fracture filling, or none — since treatment materially affects both durability and value.

Every report carries a unique number that can be verified directly on the issuing lab's website, along with security features on the physical document to guard against alteration.
