Alexandrite was first discovered in 1830's Russia and the great Czar Alexander II has it named after him.
Alexandrite is a member of the family of mineral chrysoberyl (a and in rare cases forms a Cat's Eye) that actually changes color red / pink in indoor (incandescent light bulb) light to from green / teal in day light.

Some new mines of alexandrite gems have been found in Brazil, and Sri Lanka. Natural alexandrite is very expensive and rare -- even a very small alexandrite gemstone would cost much more than diamonds of the same size. Often the color change would be barely noticeable or clarity bad in the natural gem due its rarity.
But, for a affordable alternative availble to everyone we feature simulated alexandrite - its a lab created color change sapphire is easier to obtain and is affordable in large sizes in almost flawless quality. Our simulated alexandrite gemstones will give you the same amazing color changing show as the natural alexandrite gem at a fraction of the cost. These simulated gems are very hard and durable gems, color change sapphire has a mohs hardness of 9 just under a diamond.
