Alexandrites have the unique ability to change color in various lighting conditions.
They will shift from rich, lush blue-green to dramatic royal purple. “This gem is particularly special,” says Ehrhardt, “as it seems to mimic our moods and has a personality all it’s own.”
Chatham grows these crystals in greater number than nature can provide. “The Chatham Alexandrites are not synthetic or man-made, and should be regarded as the real thing,” Ehrhardt explained. “They are grown by nature in nature’s own time, albeit in a controlled environment. That’s why they are more beautiful than those pulled from the earth.”
Since they are more abundant, the price is a fraction of what they would be if they were mined rather than grown. This makes the gem finally affordable for gift-givers around the world.
