本研究利用拉曼光譜儀，以非破壞的方式分析三十餘種寶石礦物，將其拉曼激活模作有系統的分類探討，就寶石礦物在低頻部分（150cm-1-1500cm-1）和高頻部分（2800cm-1-3800 cm-1）的振動模特性作一詳盡的分析與比較並同時將拉曼光譜圖以資料庫方式建置，作為寶石礦物鑑定標準。結果顯示，利用寶石礦物之特徵拉曼峰來辨別，不僅可以正確和快速的鑑定比對寶石礦物外，在礦物學、地質學上相當具有意義。
實驗中寶石礦物化學組成中之H-O及非含H-O鍵很容易由拉曼光譜區分，利用此一特性，市場上常見且重要的鑽石、石英、綠柱石、輝玉、閃玉、金綠寶石、藍晶石、黝簾石、黃玉、剛玉、鋯石、尖晶石、電氣石、石榴子石及橄欖石等十五種寶石被歸納為一套鑑定流程。而寶石礦物之拉曼光譜資料（特徵峰數目、位置、強度），經配合美國寶石學院（Gemological Institute of America）之標準寶石特性表，綜合建置成寶石礦物之拉曼光譜資料庫，此資料庫可作為標準範例，提供正確快速的非破壞性寶石鑑定方法，在寶石學上極具實用價值。
