Claim One:
1. A method and gem pattern matching technique to analyze a target gemstone comprising: a. analyzing a pattern of a target gemstone created by transmitting a light Source into the gemstone to create a refracted digital pattern and comparing that pattern to a database of known gemstone digital patterns to determine the percentage likelihood that the target gemstone will match a gemstone in the database; b. the matching is based on an area of a largest spot in each of 96 defined concentric, circular bands of the refracted digital pattern from the target gemstone and a clockwise angle of each of the identified largest spots relative to a designated origin angle in the target gemstone digital pattern and comparing the area and clockwise angle for each concentric band in the target gemstone digital pattern to the area and clockwise angle of the largest spot in each of the 96 concentric bands for each gemstone digital pattern in the database; and c. upon the occurrence of a match of the area and clockwise angle in a concentric band between the target gemstone and a database gemstone, the matching continues with a comparison of the entire gemstone digital pattern of the target gemstone and the corresponding database gemstone digital patterns, resulting in a percentage match of the digital bits for each database gemstone digital pattern as compared to the target gemstone digital pattern.
