The present invention relates to a
system (1) for detecting emeralds in an object (O) in a detection region (DR). The
system (1) comprises a
laser arrangement (2) comprising a first
laser (2A) configured to emit
radiation having a
wavelength within a first interval and a second
laser (2B) configured to emit
radiation having a
wavelength within a second interval, a light redirecting arrangement (4) configured to redirect
optical radiation originating from the laser arrangement (2) towards a portion of the detection region (DR), and a
spectroscopy system (10) configured to receive and analyze
radiation eminating from said object (O) when in said detection region (DR), wherein the
spectroscopy system (10) comprises a first
detector (10A) configured to detect and measure a first intensity of at least one
wavelength band within the first interval and a second
detector (10B) configured to detect and measure a second intensity of at least one
wavelength band within the second interval, wherein the
spectroscopy system (10) is further configured to compare the first intensity with the second intensity, and, if the difference is larger than a predetermined threshold value, classifying the object (O) as comprising
emerald.
