I've been on these boards for years, and I have no idea what YAG stands for. Can we get the whole words behind those letters, @SouthernGent?

I had to look it up and had forgotten what it actually stands for, however I remember it means synthetic Paraiba Tourmaline.

Got it. Sometimes I think we need to be careful with the jargon and lingo we use - not everybody is up to speed with some of these terms (in this case, me!).

Thanks, @dk168! :wavey:

YAG stands for yttrium aluminum garnet and is a synthetic used mainly in lasers. Think laser hair removal.

That is correct. And it was one of the first diamond "substitutes". It's very hard and wears very well.

The YAG arrived today, and it is gorgeous, thank you!

It is an eye popping blue green that I have not been able to capture using my phone's camera, hey ho.

No prize in guessing the type of cut I like in CS!

From left to right, Aqua, YAG, Apatite and EB Topaz.

I really must set some of them!
