Russian Synthetic Alexandrite Calibration or Freeform Available

Absolutely the lowest price!

Why pay many times more for this material than necessary?? Our rough comes directly from Russia and is being faceted by our factory abroad. We cut for calibration as well as freeforms or any size and shape desired. The cutting is the best that can be obtained. This material is a true synthetic and has a wonderful color change from bluish green to amethyst purple - just like the finest natural material coming from Brazil. Unlike the natural material, our Synthetic Alexandrite is well cut, properly proportioned, clean, has a wonderful color change and is always consistent when ordered.

Minimum order is 100ct and we can provide 1000cts or more if necessary. You may order any sizes as long as you order a minimum of 100cts. No size is too small or too large - our most frequently desired sizes/shapes include: 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 4x6mm oval, 5x7mm oval, 8x6mm oval.

NOTE: Our material is produced using the Czochralski Pull Method. The retail on the faceted material is $360 per carat - offered by a major supplier of castings and calibrated gemstones for the trade. Before comparing prices, understand the differences in production, simulated stones and therefore costs involved.

Need a kilo of rough? We have it again at the lowest price - saving you thousands off other companies prices. Availability is not guaranteed. Please contact us for more info and availability.

Note that this material is not the Russian Synthetic Alexandrite described above. This material is manufactured in the United States for use as laser rods but is still gemstone/jewelry quality. The color is lighter, allowing one to facet larger stones of 8mm or larger without having problems of the gemstone being too dark. The calibrated material described above is darker and larger stones than 8mm tend to be too dark. This material solves that problem!

We have the solution for all your Synthetic Alexandrite needs.

We have dark or light material depending on what size stone you need to facet.

Note that the darker, calibrated material is sold faceted only, whereas the lighter material may be ordered in the rough. Should you wish the darker material, contact us for a price quote.

Laboratory Grown Alexandrite - U.S.

One may see Synthetic Alexandrite on the market; unfortunately if the price is too low, it will usually test out as Synthetic Corundum(Sapphire).   Those who sell Synthetic Corundum as Synthetic Alexandrite do so illegally and do this because of the cost differential and the fact that  most customers will never have their gemstone tested.  The cost of the Syn Sapphire is VERY inexpensive compared to true Syn Alex.  The Synthetic Alexandrite below  is fairly exclusive to All That Glitters, as this gem material is an off-shoot of the creation of laser rods for military applications.  This material has less saturation than some of the other material produced out there (All That Glitters has this material too!), and allows a very large gemstone to be faceted without being overly dark.  Our prices on this material are very low since we purchase it directly from the lab.  Those dealers who purchase the rough from us, facet it and then sell it to the trade,  typically selling it wholesale for about $100-150/ct.  Retail would therefore be higher... Alexandrite is a very photo-reactive gemstone making photography difficult as the true colors that the eye sees, are not what is captured by the camera.   This material is usually a purple under fluorescent lights, bright pinkish red under incandescent, and outside with one's back towards the sun, the gem will typically be green to blue green.  Most of the time there is a bleed-through of colors, so a gemstone will have a number of colors seen by the observer, especially as the gemstone is turned and the different axes and facets interact with the available light source.  In some of these gems, one can see purple, pink, peach, blue, green, etc.  The photos do not do these gemstones justice.  It is best to view these gems in person (actually, it is always adviseable to view gemstones directly as photos can never capture the internal life or reflections of a gem!).  We do have a 7 day guarantee, so if you do not like your gemstone for any reason, it can simply be returned.

Off the Dop - 6.93ct  Synthetic Alexandrite Faceted by the owner of All That Glitters

The color change on this piece is really wonderful but photographing highly chromatic gemstones is very difficult as the true color and  sublteties cannot be seen. The following describes the color change:  Under Incandescent lights - bright pink or red Under Office Fluorescents - purple with indigo highlights, possibly some green In Direct Sunlight - purple In Indirect Sunlight (vliewer turns away from the sun) - green hints of pale blue This very material is purchased from us by dealers who then resell it to either the trade or the public.  Their prices are between $100/ct and $160/ct..  (We bought some rough years ago and have occasionally been faceting the material for our customers (both the trade and the public) and selling the rough also to cutters and other dealers.

Synthetic Alexandrite (Lab Grown)

Three recently faceted Synthetic Alexandrites weighing a total of 42.87cts.  This material was faceted from our laser rod material.  Synthetic Alexndrite sells to the trade from one company at $120 per carat, with a retail of $360 per carat.  This is usually the material that we also have from Russian which has a higher Chromium content, but with the high Cr material, we cannot facet large gems like this as the gemstones will be too dark.  This particular material was manufactured for laser rods.   In the above photo, the center gemstone is a 15x11mm oval weighing 10.38cts; the two ovals on either  side are matched and measure 18x13mm.  They weigh 16.36cts and 16.18cts.  Since these are large, the price has been discounted to $45 per carat.  If purchasing more than one, the price per carat is only $40.  This is great price considering that those who purchase the rough from us and sell the faceted stones ask $100 per carat from the trade.

Synthetic Alexandrite Faceted in the ATG Elegante Cut

11.47cts total weight - average weight is 3.82cts;  $100/ct  Gems may be purchased individually.  (litton-06-01p) This true synthetic Alexandrite is from the manufacture of laser rods.  We have obtained some of this material over the years.  It changes from a purple to a greenish blue color depending on the available light.  It also shows highlights or orange and yellow.  We faceted this material in our All That Glitters Exclusive Elegante Cut, designed by the owner of All That Glitters a few years back.  It returns a very large proportion of the available light and has a very unique shape.  The only place this unique faceting design can be obtained is through All That Glitters.  Though a wonderful cut, we have not faceted many pieces as of yet, as the rough dictates the shape of the finished gem and unless the shape  lends itself to our cut, we will use another design.    You may see another two natural gemstones that have been faceted in the Elegante or Modified Elegante  on one of our Tourmaline pages.

U.S. Grown Synthetic Alexandrite - From a Laser Rod 11.31cts

Special Price of $50/ct - $565 11.31ct U.S. Faceted Synthetic Alexandrite - Faceted from rough destined for a Laser Rod!  Color Change is from a Pinkish Red to a Purplish, Purplish with Teal or Teal depending on the wavelengths available in the light source.  Under diffused daylight, a nice green can be seen also.  This has a number of pluses - it is Synthetic Alex(NOT color changing sapphire which sells for a fraction of the price of the lab grown synthetic alex), it has a unique origin, is U.S. faceted, and a low price.  The cost of good U.S. Cutting wouldn't even pay some to facet this stone for what we are asking.  This gem is not overly dark as some Syn Alex can be because it has less Chromium and saturation is not a problem in very large sizes. Measures 14x2mm - a biggie! The photo above is not the best photo, as it can appear more teal and even green.  Photographing color change or color shifting gemstone is very difficult.

11.15ct Square Dozen Cut Synthetic Alexandrite (Laser Rod) - U.S. Faceted!

Here is a really nice gem - a lively Synthetic Alexandrite cut from a Laser Rod for laser applications.  The following color change was observed under the lights that we checked:  Incancescent light - purplish pink; office fluorescent - purple with tanzanite blue highlights; under a Brinkman Fluorescent light (which we use when purchasing color change rough or color changing stones - teal blue with some purple highlights.  $557

The color change of the above stone is a vivid pink red under incandescent lights. Under fluorescent, it is a mix of red, purple and teal. Under certain fluorescent lights, you will see more of the teal with some of the red or purple as an undertone. Photographing the stone under fluorescent lights was difficult compared to incandescent light.

These are larger gemstones than are usually found in synthetic alexandrite.  Because of their size, they are deeper colored stones.  Under incandescent, the color is purple to reddish purple.  Under fluorescent lights, they are a dark teal (greenish blue).  It is very difficult to obtain good photos of the teal.  In many lights you can see both of these colors within the stone at the same time. The retail price from one of the leading sellers of this material in the US is $360 per carat.  This price per carat also reflects stones much smaller than those above.  Our prices on the above material is $200-250 per carat.  We have heard that our color change may be slightly better than their material; obviously, since the two large gemstones were faceted int the U.S., you are guaranteed wonderful cutting.  These were cut on an individual basis; most of this type of material is faceted in bulk outside of the U.S. and may show this fact to those who understand cutting.  In fact, even most natural gemstones are faceted in the country of origin and end up being poorly cut.  We attempt to purchase all of our  gemstones in the rough so we can use our cutters to facet wonderful material that we are proud of.   If you have wanted an alexandrite or a synthetic alexandrite, the above stones are priced to sell!
