Genuine, lab-created Alexandrite
Alexandrite is the color-changing chromium-bearing variety of chrysoberyl. Its high hardness (8.5) and durability make it suitable even for ring wear, and that along with its incredible combination of colors.
Lab-created Alexandrite is quite uncommon. Synthetic alexandrite is mostly grown for industry, where it is used in some particular high-end laser systems, and the process to grow it is very expensive. Very little is produced anymore, and even when it was produced it was uncommon on the gem market. Usually instead lab-created sapphire with a color change effect was sold as Alexandrite, but that material really can't hold a candle to alexandrite.
Created by pulled Czochralski method.
The applications of lab-grown Alexandrite extend far beyond the realm of
jewelry, making it a versatile and sought-after material in various
industries. In the realm of technology and electronics, lab-grown Alexandrite is utilized as a substrate for manufacturing LEDs and
semiconductor wafers. Its exceptional durability, thermal conductivity,
and resistance to scratches and high temperatures make it an ideal
choice for protective coverings on optical components, camera lenses,
and smartphone screens, ensuring crystal-clear images and longevity.
Moreover, Alexandrite 's bio compatibility and resistance to corrosion have led
to its use in medical implants and cutting-edge optical and laser
systems. As an insulating material, it finds applications in high-power
electronics and even in the aerospace industry for creating windows and
sensors that withstand harsh environments. The versatility of lab-grown Alexandrite is boundless, making it a prized material in multiple technological
and industrial sectors, where its unique properties enhance
performance, durability, and precision.
