Alexandrite beads and cabochons
Alexandrite is renowned for its remarkable color-changing effect, known as color change. Depending on the light source, it appears bluish green in natural daylight or fluorescent lighting, then shifts to reddish purple under incandescent light or candlelight.
This fascinating phenomenon is caused by trace amounts of chromium in the mineral chrysoberyl.
First discovered in Russia's Ural Mountains in 1830, alexandrite was named in honor of the future Tsar Alexander II, who was Crown Prince at the time.
With a Mohs hardness of 8.5, alexandrite is highly durable and resistant to scratching, making it suitable for everyday jewelry.
Natural alexandrite is exceptionally rare, and synthetic versions are also widely available. We offer both natural and synthetic alexandrite, providing a range of options for gemstone enthusiasts and jewelry designers.
