Crystal Compass provides a pre-analysis authenticity & provenance intelligence layer, supporting collectors, dealers and institutions with evidence structuring, risk context and decision support ahead of formal laboratory examination.
Institutional partners receive priority access to the reference database, authenticity pattern signals and co-branded educational materials.
Crystal Compass does not perform laboratory certification or authenticity determinations. Accredited gemological laboratories remain the sole and final authority.

FOUNDER & DIRECTOR
My name is Adriana Coppelmans, Founder & Director of Crystal Compass. I have worked for more than thirty years in the social and public domain, specialising in analysis, quality safeguarding and responsibility for complex processes where accuracy and integrity are critical.
Alongside my professional career I have spent a lifetime collecting and studying minerals and natural gemstones — driven not by commercial gain or spiritual belief, but by a deep respect for nature, material science and the purity of geological formation.
Through years of contact with collectors, appraisers, auction experts and museum curators, one problem became unmistakably clear: there is no independent, transparent and evidence-based global system to structure, contextualise and support understanding of authenticity and provenance ahead of laboratory examination. This insight formed the foundation for Crystal Compass.
Crystal Compass is building an independent, evidence-based reference framework for authenticity and provenance, combining scientific research, spectroscopy, verified locality data and AI-driven pattern detection into a system that professionals worldwide can trust.
We invite museums, laboratories, academic institutions and professional partners to join this mission and help improve global alignment and understanding, so laboratory conclusions are better informed and better understood.
