I have a Russian Alexandeite from a patient I had in the 1980's. He was in his 90's and had no family. We bonded over gemstones and before he passed away, he gave me his 1.89ct oval Russian Alexandrite. I still have not had it set. I also love Turkish Diaspore. I have a few and my big one( 6.7cts) changes from green in the sun to raspberry champagne in candlelight. It is stunning. I also own color changing garnet, sapphire, and zircon. All are beautiful.

I used to collect color change gems. I have zandrites, color change cubic zirconias, alexandrites, a fluorite and garnet. My favorite is alexandrite because it glows red under uv light. The most dramatic color change is the Blue purple zandrite.

The ‘pleochroism’ vs ‘color change/shift’ heads up was much appreciated! Dang, it’s crazy how much I learn with you guys ❤️

I bought 3 zanderites from you guys about 20 years ago. They change from green to pink. I still have them in my collection today!

I love colour change gems. My engagement ring features a gorgeous colour change sapphire (blue to purple) that also fluoresces. Thanks for featuring these spectacular minerals!

Ahh! Finally I know what the stone is! My mother has a ring with a very clear big stone that changes colour from blue under fluorescent light to purple under incandescent. She told me her mother bought it off of a street vendor years ago in China. So it's a colour change fluorite. It doesn't worth much but still pretty.

I always find alexandrite to be fascinating. Hope to own it one day.

Fantastic episode! Love color change and color shift gems! Thank you Rob and Rebecca.

These are awesome. What a coincidence too, I just got my alexandrite ring today and was admiring it so much and now this video pops up! I could only see it get to a lighter blue with the naked eye which was so hard to capture on camera, as it'd look more purple on my phone no matter what I did. Lovely shots on the vid, I wish I could see those other stones in person ❤❤

[goldthredz]

One of my fav types of color change comes from stones with the Usambara effect. Thanks for this video!

[chasecarlson]

I got lucky enough to get two alexandrites from Madagascar! Not quite as intense as the Russian ones but still very cool! Mine are more of a soft blue green to a purple with a hint of very very very light red and the other more of a blueish purple. Not quite the famous green to red but still two of my favorites, especially since I can say I have untreated alexandrites in my collection!

[largent]

Those were pretty killer color change gemstone! I love the color xhange stones and i knew about alexandrite but i could never afford it! Now i know about these other beautiful stone that color change as well and I'm thrilled! I may be able to afford a color change gem stone yet! Thanks you guys!

My mother inherited my greatgrandmothers Alexandrite and I was in line to inherit next. She just happend to not be wearing it the day someone broke into our home and stole it with many other things . Fortunately I have a picture of her wearing it. It was a very large round brilliant cut. My great grandmother while weaing it i recall seeing it a very deep blue more than green shade . It would sometimes become very bright violet . It was usually violet on my mother . Beautiful !

[prettybird]

I love my color change gems! I don't have any Alexandrite yet, but I do have several blue to red color change garnet and a large turkish diaspore. I have one green to red garnet wirh a strong color change. Loved the video.

[ZaDussault]

The russian alexandrite is 35k, to be expected, but still insanely cool to me, it's a very rare stone

[dcallan]

I love colour change gems. I have some nice Turkish Diaspore, sapphires and garnet's, but no Alexandrite. Great video 2x👍

[johnc.hammersticks]

You forgot iolite/dichroite/ cordieorite. I have some peices with blue, red, yellow and pink all in one stone and some have asterisism/ cats eye. I can ship you some of it if you would like.

Holding in front of the candlelight is most beautiful. the best alexandrites definitely come from Russia. Brazil. Sri Lanka. Tanzania.
