Like normal Cr YAG (aka Christmas Garnet) it has a super rich green base color, but the addition of thulium takes the energy from the chromium atoms, splits it into two pieces, and sends it to the holmium atoms for the final infrared emission. Since the chromium's energy has been taken, it no longer glows red, and the base color is a richer and purer pine green. Like all YAG, CTH has excellent brilliance, and with a hardness of 8.5 is great for use in all kinds of jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCTH YAG is used in far infrared lasers for a variety of purposes including medical procedures and meteorological measurements.  Fortunately for us though it was designed for science when they grow crystals there are areas that are unusable, and we were able to get these offcuts to have made into gems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turtle's Hoard","offers":[{"title":"4 mm Round (Dark) ~0.35

'Christmas garnet' is an exotic lab-created garnet and a really unique gem even by our standards. \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e It has a totally unique color, with a rich almost tsavorite green base and strong red fluorescence. This means that it shows a mixture of red and green flashes, and which color predominates depends on the lighting (color and angle) as well as the background it is set against. Lighter toned stones will look almost pure green when placed on a white background but change to a mix of red and green when put on a dark background. Note that the camera exaggerates the red at the expense of the green--they do look better in person. They look a bit like alexandrite or color change garnet but is also totally different and unique. This is easily one of my favorite gems, unlike anything else found in nature or any other synthetic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCr:YAG is used in lasers as a 'q switch', which means it is opaque until it absorbs a critical amount of radiation and then suddenly becomes transparent.

Neodymium makes YAG a versatile laser crystal, and Nd YAG lasers are the most versatile and widely-used.

This means that depending on the application you might see crystals that only have Nd or ones that are almost entirely Ce with just a pinch of Nd.

It is clearly doped with Erbium, and like our modern pure Er:YAG it has a striking combination of orange and pink colors and a remarkable color change. Unlike pure Er:YAG it has a stronger pink component, suggesting the addition of another dopant like Nd, and the color is also somewhat lighter as well. Most of the material was grown via HDSM aka the 'boat method', which was favored in the Soviet Union for most non-quartz growth, though a few pieces were clearly Czochralski pulled.

This is an actual fossilized dinosaur bone where the structures have been preserved in agate, yielding an amazing and unique gem.  They even show detailed structures under a microscope!  This material has some voids and requires extra care in cutting, but should yield an unbelievable one-of-a-kind D20.  It also has a single stray saw mark that should come out in preforming.  It weighs 74g and

is, with cut stones actually resembling rutile.  So not for the faint of heart but likely to be a showstopper!  The clean section of this crystal measures about 29x28x26mm, the top will need to be

light brown color and measures about 45.8x36.5x31.7mm, a couple of fractures right at the surface that should cut out, the middle looks fairly clean.  The 158g piece measures 43x41x39mm.  This piece has a few inclusions but they seem to be concentrated on the edges.  Color is a light peach\/blue bicolor, should cut amazingly bright.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural

out of the ground and have to be treated to get a darker background, typically by soaking in a sugar solution and then exposing it to sulfuric acid which carbonizes the sugar.  This treatment goes into the stone--these pieces were trimmed from a large piece of rough and still show the darker base color throughout though with streaks of white.  This material is porous and may give an extra challenge in polishing but should make for incredible dice!  these were photographed damp.  The 51g piece measures 39x29x29mm and the 53g piece measures

exotic lab-created garnet and a really unique gem even by our standards. It has a totally unique color, with a rich almost tsavorite green base and strong red fluorescence. This means that it shows a mixture of red and green flashes, and which color predominates depends on the lighting (color and angle) as well as the background it is set against. Lighter toned stones will look almost pure green when placed on a white background but change to a mix of red and green when put on a dark background. Note that the camera exaggerates the red at the expense of the green--they do look better in person. They look a bit like alexandrite(which also gets its color from Cr3+ atoms) or color change garnet but is also totally different and unique. This is easily one of my favorite gems, unlike anything else found in nature or any other synthetic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCr:YAG is used in lasers as a 'Q-switch', which means it is opaque until it absorbs a critical amount of radiation and then suddenly becomes transparent.

Pulsed lasers can be extremely powerful and are incredibly useful for all sorts of applications, from tattoo removal to cutting edge physics research. Basically, like all bad sci-fi and good RPGs you can upgrade your laser just by slapping a crystal on the end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs with all YAG, this material is ideal for jewelry with a high hardness of 8.5, no durability issues and good optical properties which make it sparkle brilliantly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turtle's Hoard","offers":[{"title":"Skull, 9x8mm, 5.57ct","offer_id":51409520132384,"sku":"Gem_XmasSkull_00120260402","price":164.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Skull, 11x10mm, 9.63ct","offer_id":51409520165152,"sku":"Gem_XmasSkull_00220260402","price":244.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Skull, 11x10mm, 9.79ct","offer_id":51409520197920,"sku":"Gem_XmasSkull_00320260402","price":247.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Skull, 11x10mm, 10.04ct","offer_id":51409520230688,"sku":"Gem_XmasSkull_00420260402","price":251.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Skull, 11x10mm, 10.11ct","offer_id":51409520263456,"sku":"Gem_XmasSkull_00520260402","price":253.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/6794\/0384\/files\/previewcopy.jpg?v=1728580637"},{"product_id":"space-laser-garnet-loose-gems-fancy-cut-mars-rover-crystal","title":"Space Laser Garnet Loose Gems, Fancy Cut Mars Rover Crystal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese are lab created 'Space Laser' garnet in mixed fancy cuts, or more technically speaking chromium + neodymium YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet).

Nd:YAG is the most classic laser crystal, and adding chromium gives it two benefits in space.  First, chromium radiation hardens the crystal, allowing it to function in the unforgiving environment outside our atmosphere.  Adding chromium also allows the creation of self-switched pulsed lasers which are hard to grow but save weight and have fewer points of failure, making them great for use in very demanding applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd did I mention these go into space!

In theory a laser crystal cut from one of these very same crystals could be on mars in a few years!

look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristmas garnet, or chromium-doped YAG, is also used as a Q switch in lasers.  It has a rich green base paired with strong red fluorescence--depending on the

red fluorescence, allowing it to be used in laser rods and giving it a pure green color, similarly rich but deeper than vanadium YAG.  In smaller \u003cspan\u003eRetroHex™\u003c\/span\u003e stones the difference is not very pronounced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuAG is a hyperfluorescent lab garnet famed for its yellow-green base and ultra strong green fluorescence which gives it a highlighter
