Quantitative definition of strength of chromophores in gemstones and the impact on color change in pyralspite garnets

The color of most garnets is derived from multiple color‐producing elements (chromophores). In this study we selectively isolate the ultraviolet–visible–near infrared (UV–Vis–NIR) spectra of four major chromophores (Fe2+, Mn2+, Cr3+ and V3+) by collecting and extrapolating the spectra of four repres...
