Abstract[English] An apparatus (100) for identifying precious stones and man-made stones is disclosed. The apparatus (100) includes a handheld device (2) with a probe (4), a thermal and optical testing assembly, a microcontroller (36), and a visual indicator (6). The probe is electronically coupled with the handheld device (2) and is removable and replaceable. The probe (4) includes a copper tube (5a) with an optical fiber (23) and a tip (5) for contacting the stone under test. The thermal testing assembly heats the copper tube (5a) and the optical assembly illuminates the stone (12, 13) under test with UV light. The microcontroller (36) determines heat transfer and determines at least one of: the electrical, thermal, and optical properties of the stone. The microcontroller (36) identifies the type of stone, and the visual indicator displays the result.[French] L'invention concerne un appareil (100) permettant d'identifier des pierres précieuses et des pierres artificielles. L'appareil (100) comprend un dispositif portatif (2) avec une sonde (4), un ensemble de test thermique et optique, un microcontrôleur (36) et un indicateur visuel (6). La sonde est couplée électroniquement au dispositif portatif (2), est amovible et est remplaçable. La sonde (4) comprend un tube en cuivre (5a) avec une fibre optique (23) et une pointe (5) pour entrer en contact avec la pierre sous test. L'ensemble de test thermique chauffe le tube en cuivre (5a) et l'ensemble optique éclaire la pierre (12, 13) sous test avec une lumière UV. Le microcontrôleur (36) détermine le transfert de chaleur et détermine une propriété électrique, thermique et/ou optique de la pierre. Le microcontrôleur (36) identifie le type de pierre, et l'indicateur visuel affiche le résultat.
