Product info states device does not distinguish between natural and synthetic. Is that the same as not distinguishing between genuine or imitation?

Yes, and no. Imitation can be like, if they colored a Sapphire to be a Ruby. So, if you buy a Ruby, and it tests Sapphire, it might be Sapphire. You will also want to buy the Presidium Refractometer for a better accuracy (I own both). However, even with both tools, it takes a keen eye, and training to truly know what you're looking at. However, both tools have successfully identified Diamond and Moissanite for me. (Back to the issue at hand). Natural is mined, where as synthetic is lab grown. This generally means that the hardness index will be very similar to the real thing. If you find imitation, it can be anything from a different stone that's been colored, all the way to colored/dyed glass.

Getting the exact name of the stones now leaving to guess

The presidium instrument gemstones tester is a good product. It would have been great if there where actual light to indicate the name of the exact stone instated of just a line with more the one name leaving you to guess what exactly it's.

Good when working correctly.

I like the variation this tester has for identifying various gems . However , I find the pen has been extremely finicky and I can hardly have it calibrate up to the Cal indicator level without constantly cleaning and wiping down the cal glass and pen tip. I may have received a faulty pen as it has play back and forth ?
