According to Shane McClure, global director of GIA Colored Stone Services, the institute constantly seeks opportunities to expand its science-based services to meet the needs of traders and consumers. On January 1, 2026, GIA unveiled its revamped coloured gemstone reports featuring an elevated format and layout for enhanced storytelling and expanded origindetermination services. The new reports highlight pertinent gemmological details, making each gemstone's unique story easier to appreciate and understand. The institute also started offering provenance services for opal, peridot and demantoid garnet, in addition to alexandrite, emerald, Paraiba tourmaline, red spinel, ruby and sapphire, and the more recent country-of-origin determination for untreated jadeite jade and omphacite jade from Myanmar (Burma) or Guatemala. “As science and our knowledge progress, we will incorporate more species of coloured gemstones into our services,” revealed McClure. These expanded services are based on GIA’s extensive research and collection of more than 30,000 reference samples – many of which were collected from over 100 field expeditions by GIA gemmologists and researchers. Complementing these are GIA’s advanced instrumentation and testing equipment. “It is important to understand that geographic origin determination is an informed opinion,” explained McClure. The Gemological Institute of America’s (GIA) newly redesigned gemstone reports offer a fresh format that emphasises clarity and storytelling, demonstrating the institute’s dedication to continuously expand its services to address evolving market needs.
