LASER to GEMSTONE? Exploring the World of Lab Grown Crystals

Lab-grown diamonds may be all the rage, but Stephen from Angry Turtle Jewelry and the Turtle's Hoard takes it a step further, creating fabulous faceted gemstones from lab-grown crystals used in lasers, medical scanners, even cell phones! Learn about the beauty of lab-grown crystals as Steven explains the many different combinations - all resulting in unique, beautiful gemstones! As Steven says, his lab-grown stones are "a by-product of civilization," discarded remnants of technology. Being beautiful is not the crystals' primary purpose - but it is a great side benefit! If you have ever wondered about lab-grown crystals, like affordable gemstones, or are just curious about something new, check out this video.
