These are vivid green laser garnet gems cut in long hexagon RetroHex™ cuts!  These are sold by carat size or range--exact size and proportions vary.

This is a simple style of long hexagon tablet cut reminiscent of all kinds of gems and crystals in old video games (thanks in part to the restrictions of pixel art)--in spite of its simplicity it makes for a lively gem with a very satisfying look.

Vanadium YAG is an exotic lab garnet--its pure composition gives it the most vivid green base color I have seen in any gem.  Like Christmas garnet it functions as a Q switch to make lasers more powerful, and also makes an amazing gemstone.  Some of these stones have fine inclusions which give them a slightly translucent look.
