Recording Multiple Stones with the GemLightbox Macro

Recording Multiple Stones with the GemLightbox Macro

Quick answer

The GemLightbox Macro is designed to capture one stone at a time for the sharpest focus and most accurate color. Some users have successfully captured matching pairs, but individual capture always delivers the best results. If you regularly need to shoot multiple stones in a single frame, the GemLightbox Pro is a better fit.

Why One Stone at a Time

The GemLightbox Macro is precision-built for individual stone capture. Shooting one stone at a time ensures:

• Crisp focus — the camera locks onto a single subject without compromise

• Accurate color — lighting is calibrated for one stone, not averaged across several

• Consistent video quality — every stone gets a clean, detail-rich recording of its own

When Capturing a Pair May Work

Some gemstone and diamond dealers have captured matching pairs successfully. This is more likely to produce acceptable results when:

• The stones are similar in size

• The stones are similar in cut

• Both stones fit comfortably within the capture area without crowding the frame

Results vary depending on stone size and cut. If quality is not acceptable, return to individual captures.

Recommended Workflow for Multiple Stones

1. Capture each stone individually using the GemLightbox Macro.

2. Save each video or image to your device or preferred storage.
