{"title":"Ruby and Sapphire","description":"Rubies and Sapphires are both type of the mineral 'Corundum'. In traditional gemology, the difference is that a 'ruby' is red, and a sapphire is any other color.  However, in laser science, a 'laser ruby' is any corundum with chromium in it (regardless of whether it's red or just pink).  Laser crystals using a different colorant (like titanium) will be called 'Laser sapphire' even if they end up being red.","products":[{"product_id":"czochralski-pulled-lab-created-blue-sapphire-facet-rough","title":"Blue Sapphire Rough, Czochralski Grown Sapphire Crystals","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese are lab created Czochralski pulled blue sapphire facet rough.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe finally got some blue sapphire!

While material of this color would be called 'pink sapphire' in a gemological context, in laser science all corundum doped with chromium is considered ruby (in contrast to pink laser sapphire which is doped with titanium). In a laser this material would be cut into a cylinder, charged up with photons from the sides and emit a beam of coherent light out of the end--in fact the very first laser was built with a ruby. As you would expect for this requires a very high standard of chemical purity and structural perfection--when energizing a crystal imperfections tend to heat up and explode. Czochralski pulling ensures that these stones have perfect crystal structure, high chemical purity and strong, even coloration, which coincidentally makes them exceptional for gem usage as well.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBack in the 80s the US government spun up the SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) program, the idea being to create powerful defenses against nuclear weapons using whatever wacky sci-fi ideas people could come up with--because of this the media often called it the 'Star Wars' program. One idea was to make powerful lasers that would shoot missiles right out of the sky en route, and because of that they grew a lot of laser ruby and stockpiled it for future use. When the SDI was finally wound down there was a lot of this stuff lying around which was surplused off and often made it into the hands of faceters. Unfortunately I missed out on all of that on account of being born that year, but we've been able to buy a few old collections that contained some of this material. We can't be 1000% certain of the provenance because it wasn't specifically labeled as government material but it was labeled as laser ruby and is from exactly the right time so I would call it 99% certain. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis material cuts super bright, neon pink stones with a ton of scintillation and super bright fluorescence which gives them an extra pop.

sapphires--we don't usually work with materials grown specifically for gem usage, particularly by the flame fusion, one of our cutters came across some material and really wanted to cut it.  These include rich greens colored by cobalt, classic blues, some pink-yellow bicolors and a few cobalt blue spinels.  Note the bicolor sapphires are grown with techniques originally developed for making bicolor laser rods.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCobalt green sapphire in particular is very neat.   It can show some of the finest green color of any gem, but it is difficult to grow consistently, with the color varying from more blue to more yellow even within the same crystal and also often exsolving tiny crystals of blue cobalt aluminate.  Our friend Arya is working with several PhD researchers to unravel its secrets to grow large, consistent examples without any inclusions.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs is typical of flame fusion blue sapphire these stones have strong color zoning.  The green cobalt sapphires show slightly varied colors and a few have blue cobalt aluminate

Faceted Ruby Gemstones, Cut Pulled Rubies","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese are faceted pink rubies, grown using the Czochralski pulling methods. Like all rubies they have a high hardness of 9, great brilliance and glow red under UV. These might have been intended for lasers, or perhaps luxury watches.  Some pieces have bubbles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most classic gem produced by science is laser ruby. While material of this color would be called 'pink sapphire' in a gemological context, in laser science all corundum doped with chromium is considered ruby (in contrast to pink laser sapphire which is doped with titanium). In a laser this material would be cut into a cylinder, charged up with photons from the sides and emit a beam of coherent light out of the end--in fact the very first laser was built with a ruby. As you would expect for this requires a very high standard of chemical purity and structural perfection--when energizing a crystal imperfections tend to heat up and explode. Czochralski pulling ensures that these stones have perfect crystal structure, high chemical purity and strong, even coloration, which coincidentally makes them exceptional for gem usage as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis material cuts bright, pink\/red stones with a ton of scintillation and super bright fluorescence which gives them an extra pop. They are great for any lover of science, fluorescence or the color pink!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turtle's Hoard","offers":[{"title":"Dark Pink Square, ~3mm, avg.

Bracelets, Fighter Jet Window Sapphire in Sterling Silver with Black Leather Cord","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese sterling silver bracelets use lab created sapphires which were grown for sensor windows in the F35 fighter jet, which didn't quite meet spec.  They've been faceted in my custom EOTS design, shaped like sapphire sensor cluster on the nose of the F-35.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote these stones glow blue under shortwave UV because of titanium contamination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a really cool material--lab sapphire grown for windows on the F35!  These aren't used on the cockpit but on a sensor array right below.  There are numerous sensors on the bottom of an F35 that allow for a 365 degree view in a wide spectral range.  With the incredible accelerations and speed that have to be withstood an ultra hard, ultra durable material like sapphire is needed.  But how do you make giant, flat sheets of sapphire?  Normally you'd cut windows out of a big round boule grown by HEM or \u003cspan class=\"ZNx93QP1XNrBdT5MI6SY\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"expandableItem\"\u003eKyropoulos \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ebut the shape really isn't conducive to larger flat shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo solve this problem Rubicon, at the time one of America's greatest sapphire growing companies, got a 5 million dollar grant to develop the LANCE furnace, an ultra high tech crystal growing machine that grows the world's largest flat sapphires via the \"boat\" method aka HDSM.  If you've ever been to a Quiznos think of the ovens with a conveyer belt they use to toast subs evenly--it's basically that but with a giant flat pan of molten, crystallizing sapphire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough the LANCE is absolutely incredible (we got to see it in person and meet the head crystal grower!!) it didn't have a 100% success rate, and over time the company built up a pile of defective sapphire crystals that had either been contaminated with titanium (which turns them pink and ruins UV transmission), developed bubbles, shattered during growth or usually all three.  They recently closed their factory in Chicago and auctioned off the contents, and we were able to buy the entire pile of defective crystals!  It was a dream come true!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turtle's Hoard","offers":[{"title":"Black Leather EOTS Bracelet, 8mm
