On February 5, 2020, Gems & Gemology launched a Facebook group dedicated to gemology and research published in the journal. The group has attracted jewelry professionals, researchers, students, and those with a general interest in gemology who want to share and expand their knowledge. With several dozen posts (see above), the G&G Facebook group has become a dedicated forum for the discussion of inclusions, treatments, field gemology and gemstone mining, and identification of laboratory-grown or cultured gemstones, including identification challenge quizzes. Some of the most popular posts to date have featured stunning photomicrographs of gersdorffite inclusions in quartz, diamonds with octahedral stellate cloud inclusions, mysterious sapphires from the Andes Mountains in South America, and the use of Google Earth for research in field gemology. The enthusiastic base of more than 7,000 members hails from all parts of the globe.
