“…In the last 15 years, few works tried to point out the main aspects of the applications of Raman spectroscopy to gemmology . In particular, some extensive review papers on Raman and gemmology appeared a few years ago even related to forensic aspects . A particular review, centred on mineralogical studies of archaeological gems by means of many techniques, including Raman spectroscopy, appeared a few years ago…”

Minerals, as raw structural materials or pigments, play a fundamental role in archaeometry, for the understanding of nature, structure and status of an artefact or object of interest for cultural heritage. A detailed knowledge of the mineral phases is crucial to solve archaeological problems: Raman spectroscopy is a powerful investigation technique and has been applied extensively in the last 30 years on mineral identification and on pigment degradation. Here we report an updated review, covering the last decade, of the applications of Raman techniques to issues in which raw minerals, including mineral pigments, are involved. Particular attention is devoted to cases where the Raman analysis of minerals is deeper than a simple identification of the phases present in an archaeological or artistic object.

“…Raman spectroscopy allows in situ analysis of inorganic and organic samples as well as in vivo analysis of live tissues [106,108]. The technique has been successfully applied to medical diagnoses [109,110], identification of chemical composition of pathogenic and nonpathogenic microorganisms [111], plant tissues [106,112], quality control of food [113,114], investigation of textiles [106,115,116], works of arts [106,115,116], gemstones [106,117,118], astrobiological and mineralogical analysis [119][120][121], and forensic material [122].…”

“…3.4. It is well known that in the past 15 years numerous excellent reviews and special issues of journals (especially the Journal of Raman Spectroscopy) have been dedicated to in-depth overviews of all manners of application of Raman spectroscopy in art, archaeology, forensics, and gemology, and the reader is referred to these for a comprehensive treatment of the subject [24,48,77,103,171,283,284,294,296]. Many dedicated books are also available [68,76,125].…”
