 		These guy's sell some of the best synthetic alexandrite rough that I've seen. A few cut stones too. http://www.atggems.homestead.com/files/Synthetic_Alexandrite_Rough.htm

 		That's interesting, especially that it's by-product of laser rod manufacturing. Go figure!
Does this (or other color synthetic alexandrites) have that teal to fuscia color change? I can't imagine what that would be like in person, even in a synthetic.

 		velouriaL,
The Morion Co. sells some syn. alexandrite that has a distinct teal to purplish color change and the Chatham alex has a similar color range, but they are never really either one color or the other in most lighting. They always seem to be more mixed with both colors showing. The natural stones that I've seen are similar in that the lighting has to be set up to show just one color or the other.
