Synthetic Alexandrite

Item Description

Synthetic stones have their place in the gem world, especially for those who are looking to purchase a high quality item without breaking the bank. There is nothing wrong with purchasing a synthetic stone, provided that both the buyer and seller are aware that the gem has been grown, and didn't come from a natural source. I'm sure many of you have seen the surge of synthetic (lab-grown) Diamonds on the market recently, which may eventually replace natural Diamonds in modern jewelry. This stone is a beautiful synthetic Alexandrite which displays a moderate color change from purplish-blue to a strong purple hue. The stone has a "brilliant round" cut and has minor inclusions. It's a good sized stone for a pendant, or would make a cool addition to any gem suite as a unique novelty.
