Awesome video guys. I absolutely love this stone. I stumbled across it looking for something special for my Fiancee's engagement ring,found a great quality natural 0.87ct stone and had a ring made. Think im addicted to it now! I ended up buying her some more and had earrings made for her 40th birthday and then i brought myself a stone for an investment. I have never understood why people love diamonds when there are more amazing stones out there that don't lose their value. The only problem with it is i have to explain what it is to people,but always fun seeing the look on their faces when they see the colour change.

I own a beautiful crystal that have this color changing properties. growth lines can be appreciated throughout the hole portion of the raw crystal. tubular like lines inside of the crystal can be appreciated with strong jewelers loupe however it is very clean & has no air bubbles. when exposed under certain white lights it shift's to light blue-dark blue & under some other white lights a mint light green-emerald green can also be clearly appreciated. Also when exposed to Incandescent light & or fire light an raspberry red-pinkish or purplish hue can be clearly appreciated. it is a triclinic shaped crystal. I do not know for sure what it is. found it on a remote river bend mixed up with a mica saturated sand & river pebbles deposit. your help on identifying what it is will be very appreciated.

very helpful information 👍👍

Me too

I have a color changing gemstone. It is natural. It has a very small carbon inclusion I can see under a loupe. The changes in color are pretty dramatic under different types of light. I have so far seen 4 colors: emeral green(daylight), purple/reddish(candle light/low light or night time), blood red (under uv black light), and apple green(led light). It can also display a mix of these colors. I can't figure out what it is. My jeweler just told me what I wanted to hear which was of course ALEXANDRITE. It was sold to me as a color changing spinel but I'm not so sure. I'm thinking maybe color changing sapphire? Anyone have any suggestions on how to test it? Or anyone like to take a shot at what it might be? I would do my best to take good pictures.

hello i need this stone

Mam we have 39 carrats Brownish to yellow colour changing alexandrite is there any buyer in India i am from southern state of India

I have a 13.5 ct alexandrite, it’s too big for a ring and I do have papers on it. It’s red or purple or green (nice dark color). What would you suggest I put it in? It was from Germany. My Great Aunt went there when her husband was stationed there.

It was in a sterling silver broach but the brooch was broken

​@Shanda Turman Often any stone in older jewelry is more valuable when kept in its original setting. Can the broach not be repaired? I say this only as a friendly direction, as a former pawn broker and a lover of the exquisite detail of old jewelry, I just give you my thoughts. Heavy stones , less hardness stones do better as pendants or broach as they are easier to scratch or damage, chemicals and extreme temperatures, constant sunlight, hydro cleaning equipment can damage many gemstones too can damage our rings easily, if in a ring, watch, or bracelet I hope this helps put you on the right path for you to enjoy your family prize piece of jewelry history. God Bless!

Do you buy alexandrite ? I have 16kt mix stones

Hi , request yiu to please share the address of this store - I want to buy a good quality Alexandrite

Was there a time when synthetic Alexandrite was very fashionable? I have a few of my mother/grandmother's Alexandrite jewellery from the 50s & 60s and the stones seem unreasonably large considering the cost. I'm going to get them appraised but I'm just curious if they were fashionable during a certain era. They are truly beautiful. FYI my mother's family are Ukrainian/Russian so it makes sense they would have an affinity for these stones.

Very possible! I've redone a lot of old jewelry and from that time it was common to use larger glass imitation stones on nice mounts. So it would not surprise me at all!

Hello, great video, I have a question, maybe a dumb one, but I always wanted to know if the synthetic stone it’s the “same” as the natural stone, what would be the real difference?

@@DominiqueFlux no, never, but I would said it’s different, because a fake Rolex would made of cheaper materials and probably won’t las longer, but if a synthetic stone has the same chemical composition, same hardness and it’s basically the same thing, why they’re called fake? Just because they’re not natural grown?

​@@lili1981sandovalthere is absolutely no chemical or structural difference between a natural Alexandrite stone and a lab-created Alexandrite stone. However, there is a difference in HOW the stones are created. When purchasing lab created Alexandrite, you'll want to specify that you are NOT looking for a simulant (i.e. spinel/corundum/nanosital, etc). The best lab created Alexandrite are created through two methods. The first is called Czochralski pulled and the second is called flux melt. Anyone selling stones will know exactly what you're talking about. If they seem at all confused or hesitant on answering that question, walk away. Typically you can find independent lapidarists who will source exactly the type of stone you request and cut it to your specifications. The only reason people care about whether or not a stone is natural or lab created is because scarcity creates higher prices. When demand is high and the product is scarce, people stand to make a great profit. People who try to scare you away from lab created stones only do so because they have a financial interest in your choice. If you just want a beautiful stone to wear and be proud of and fall in love with, there is absolutely nothing wrong with getting a lab created stone. It will be identical in every way to a natural stone with the exception of things like inclusions or hallmarks that can only be seen with expensive equipment.

good morning girl question of the day I have three alexandrite two of them are from Russia they are somewhat rare one is 9+ carats the other is 16+ carts the other is almost 20 carts they are part of my collection but I don't know the price there are people who wants to buy them for me and I reiterate they are natural but I don't know what price to put on them in case someone wants them thanks for your time reading my comments

No person can give you prices for stones they have not personally held with thier own hands. You can research your local gemologist and geologist to find a professional that can appraise your gemstones. They will charge a fee.

Oh that's interesting! I'm not quite sure why they cannot see the color change, could they have slight color blindness? It is more common then we think among men to not be able to see certain colors

That's a good question. I've never known my father or son to have color blindness, but perhaps I should ask some females. _What made it even crazier_ was when I tried to prove to them it changed colors, by taking a photo of it when we were standing outside... and in my phone's screen it was displaying as purple. They were like, 'See?? It's purple!' I was starting to think I was going crazy as I was looking at the blue/green with my bare eyes, and looking at the purple in the phone's screen. The only thing I can imagine is that the cellphone I'm using has limitations.

Is the color change natural or lab made ones?

I got a 1992 class ring that goes from a very vibrant shiny teal-sea greenish color to a deep sparkling royal purple when changing lighting. I mean instant and veru noticeable change; also has an amber/yellow tinge when held under certain lighting and tilted at certain angles.. In some lighting it has a light blue tint before going to the teal. Turns a like blood red color when in pitch black and hit with blacklight. Thinking about getting it looked at by geologist.

If it glows red under black light, it's likely a corundum (sapphire/ruby). Corundum is a popular alexandrite simulant.
