Laboratory-Grown YAG Colored Gemstone Crystals Rough Uncut Apple Green
Laboratory-cultured YAG crystals, particularly in apple green varieties, have emerged as highly sought-after synthetic gemstones in the jewelry industry. These chromium-doped (Cr³⁺) Y₃Al₅O₁₂ crystals combine exceptional hardness (Mohs 8.5) with superior optical properties (refractive index 1.83, dispersion 0.028), making them ideal for high-end jewelry designs. Unlike natural gemstones, our YAG crystals exhibit unparalleled color consistency (ΔE<1.5 per CIE LAB) and are free from inclusions, achieving VVS clarity grades (IGI standards). The controlled growth process ensures ethical production with minimal environmental impact (carbon footprint reduced by 95% compared to mined stones).
Key Features of YAG gemstones in Apple Green
1. Exceptional Durability
· Mohs hardness 8.5 (superior to emerald and topaz)
· Fracture toughness 1.4 MPa·m¹/²
2. Advanced Chromatic Engineering
· Dopant-controlled coloration (Cr³⁺ for apple green, Ho³⁺ for red)
· Pantone-matched hues with batch consistency ΔE<2.0
3. Optical Excellence
· Refractive index: 1.83 (exceeding natural spinel)
· Dispersion: 0.028 (comparable to demantoid garnet)
4. Technical Superiority
· Thermal stability up to 1800°C
· Radiation-free composition
Primary applications of YAG gemstones in Apple Green
1. Fine Jewelry Manufacturing
- Center Stones for Engagement Rings & Necklaces (2-15ct Sizes)
Apple green YAG crystals are increasingly favored as center stones in engagement rings and pendant necklaces, offering a vibrant alternative to traditional emeralds at a fraction of the cost. The 2-15ct size range accommodates both delicate solitaire settings and bold statement pieces. Their exceptional clarity (VVS-grade) and consistent coloration make them particularly suitable for:
• Bridal jewelry collections
• High-end bespoke commissions
• Anniversary and heirloom pieces
- Precision-Cut Fancy Shapes (Emerald, Cushion, Radiant)
Advanced CNC cutting technology enables our YAG crystals to achieve precision faceting in all standard and custom shapes:
Emerald cuts - Showcase the crystal's exceptional clarity with step-cut precision (±0.1° facet angle tolerance)
Cushion cuts - Maximize color saturation through 58-facet brilliant modifications
Radiant cuts - Combine the elegance of emerald cuts with the sparkle of round brilliants
Additional specialty cuts available upon request, including:
• Portuguese (72-facet)
• Ashoka (62-facet)
• Tapered baguette
2. Decorative Elements
- Watch Bezels
The 8.5 Mohs hardness makes apple green YAG ideal for luxury watch components:
• Durable alternative to emerald bezels in sports watches
• Color-matched inserts for chronograph pushers
• Full-gemstone cases (30-40mm diameters available)
- High-Fashion Accessories
Designers utilize these crystals for:
