lab grown alexandrite gemstones

Alexandrite is an amazing kind of gemstone for jewelry, because faceted gems undergo a dramatic color change in different types of light. In warm indoor incandescent or candle lighting, this gem is a rich purplish red color. In bright daylight, it is blueish green. Alexandrite has this color change, because it includes chromium, which has different absorptivity to different light.

Our lab created alexandrite, like natural alexandrite, is a member of the chrysoberyl
family which has the chemical composition beryllium aluminum oxide. In other words, our lab created alexandrite gemstones are chemically identical to alexandrite gemstones mined naturally. Because when buying lab alexandrite, because many dealers indiscriminately use the term for imitations (such as color-change corundum). The imitations have very little color change effect and the color is light baby blue in bright daylight, because they contain less element than true lab created alexandrite.
