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. This allows a laser to charge its crystal up to a higher energy level before suddenly releasing it all in a single powerful\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eburst instead of shooting out in a continuous beam. 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\u003eLike 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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA83\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0923\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turtle's Hoard","offers":[{"title":"Stud Earrings Pair, 8mm Rounds, ~6.9 tctw","offer_id":51770854179104,"sku":"Stud_Xmas_RND8","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Crowned Pear A Pendant, total size 19.6x11mm","offer_id":51385318670624,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_00120260326","price":318.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Crowned Pear B Pendant, total size 20.2x11.4mm","offer_id":51385318703392,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_00220260326","price":323.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Minimal Pear Pendant, total size 22x11mm","offer_id":51385318736160,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_00320260326","price":327.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ornamented Pear Pendant, total size 29x15.5mm","offer_id":51385318768928,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_00420260326","price":380.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Framed Pear Pendant, total size 32x14.7mm","offer_id":51385318801696,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_00520260326","price":407.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Complex Framed Pear Pendant, total size 27x23.6mm","offer_id":51385318834464,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_00620260326","price":410.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ornate Framed Pear Pendant, total size 31.8x21mm","offer_id":51385318867232,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_00720260326","price":402.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hexagon With Sapphire Accents Ring, 10mm stone, size 7","offer_id":51385318900000,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_00820260326","price":296.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Checkerboard Pear Ring, 14x11mm stone, size 7","offer_id":51385318932768,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_00920260326","price":288.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Twist Eye Double Band Ring, 12x7mm stone, size 7","offer_id":51385318965536,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_01020260326","price":345.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dragon Eye Ring, 10mm stone, size 7","offer_id":51385318998304,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_01120260326","price":241.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Twist Eye Double Band Ring, 12x7mm stone, size 7.5","offer_id":51385319031072,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_01220260326","price":325.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dragon Eye Ring, 10mm stone, size 8","offer_id":51385319063840,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_01320260326","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chunky Octagon Ring, 10.5mm stone, size 9","offer_id":51385319096608,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_01420260326","price":637.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pear in Dragonscale Ring, 14x11mm stone, size 9","offer_id":51385319129376,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_01520260326","price":574.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Twist Eye Bezel Ring, 12x7mm stone, size 10","offer_id":51385319162144,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_01620260326","price":523.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chunky Pear Ring, 14x11mm stone, size 11","offer_id":51385319194912,"sku":"JWLY_Xmas_01720260326","price":668.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/6794\/0384\/files\/Faceted_Christmas_Garnet_jewelry.jpg?v=1774584876","url":"https:\/\/store.gemsofscience.com\/products\/christmas-garnet-jewelry-earrings-pendants-and-rings","provider":"Gems Of Science","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
