Understanding Lab Alexandrite

Alexandrite is the color-change variety of the mineral chrysoberyl. Green by Day. Alexandrite is bluish green in daylight or fluorescent light. Red by Night. Alexandrite is purplish red in incandescent light or candlelight. 

Lab Created Alexandrite do not reflect the same colour quality as natural Alexandrite - their colours are not as intense deep purples as real Alexandrites. They are closer to second grade Alexandrites which you see in the market.  However, the affordable range of these gorgeous color changing gems are a great alternative to expensive natural alexandrite which cost a minimum of $3000 per carat. Lower quality Natural  Alexandrite typically fall on the border between chrysoberyl (no color change), and a weak color shift and will cost below $2000 per carat

Please take note of product claims of natural Alexandrites selling below $200 even for a 0.3 Carat Alexandrite.
