YAG paraiba colored garnet at Tucson show - please help

[Ring_obsessed]

Hi all! Long time lurker, first time poster. I found a really beautiful YAG garnet that has a paraiba color from a jeweler I follow on Instagram. It’s 7x9mm emerald cut and 500 dollars. It seems high to me for a lab created stone, but I honestly don’t know enough about them. She found them at the Tucson show and I was wondering if anyone had seen them elsewhere. I saw some from rusgems for super cheap online but not sure if rusgems is good or same color/quality. Pictures attached. The color looks quite different in sifferent lighting so I attached three.
